A 60-year-old man is admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for ongoing management of a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was brought to the emergency department three hours ago by emergency medical services after he developed a sudden-onset intense headache at his workplace. On initial presentation, he was confused and disoriented. Shortly after, he became somnolent and was then intubated. Computerized tomography (CT) of the head revealed blood in the cortical convexities. A head CT angiogram showed a posterior communicating artery aneurysm. An endovascular coiling procedure was planned for the next day. Upon arrival at the ICU, his temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F), heart rate is 76/min, respirations are set at 12/min by the ventilator, and blood pressure is 180/90 mmHg. On examination, he is pharmacologically sedated with no spontaneous movement. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
