#2.18: ICU Delirium with Kali Dayton

This week, we're interviewing the incredible Kali Dayton, ICU nurse practitioner, sedation and mobility consultant, patient advocate, and host of the podcast "Walking Home from the ICU".  We're here to discuss the wild phenomenon called "ICU delirium," sedation and ventilation practices that damage the brains of a huge portion of those put into medically-induced comas, and how to be prepared as a patient!
