Tolerance varies: Assume you are talking about a pt in ICU, who is receiving sedation to help tolerate being on a ventilator. Every pt is different--some need much more than others, depending on age, severity of disease, pain level, etc. Intensive care physicians are experts at managing sedation to optimize pt comfort and BP. Sometimes it can take time to reach an ideal balance of meds.
