HD 30, and she received multiple 35-70 mg boluses as needed for sedation and for coughing episodes that led to impaired ECMO flow and associated desaturation events (Figs. 1 and 2 ). Her high sedation needs prohibited participation in occupational and physical therapy sessions critical to her rehabilitation plan. Gabapentin 300 mg TID and ipratropium 500 mcg q6h were also started to target other potential mechanisms of cough (Fig. 2).  She received an average of 5.5 boluses per day (range 3-8 boluses/day, 85 mg-325 mg/day) (Fig. 2). Her infusion rate decreased after starting lidocaine as well (Fig. 2).
