The Society of Critical Care Medicine has developed a comprehensive clinical practice guideline for critically ill infants and children on seven domains of care (Figure 1). The guideline evaluates the current practice and makes recommendations to address sedation, pain , and delirium management with main focus areas as mentioned in figure 2.
