ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the ethical justification of reducing sedation in ICU based on the need of medical treatment but the increase of patient's discomfort and the solution of this ethical conflict.Methods:
Quali-tative research was used to conduct the in - depth interview among 15 senior medical staffs. We analyzed the ob-tained information, refined the research contents and formed the research report.Results:
In ethics, it was a chal-lenge to achieve a satisfactory balance between the guarantee of the patient's comfortable experience and medical demand for reducing sedation.Conclusions:
When making a sedation therapy program, the clinicians should pay more attention to the patient's own comfortable experience, that is, try to minimize the discomfort of patients in the pursuit of the most satisfactory treatment outcome.
