Long-term sedation in intensive care unit: a randomized comparison between inhaled sevoflurane and intravenous propofol or midazolam

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Long-term inhaled sevoflurane sedation seems to be a safe and effective alternative to IV propofol or midazolam, and it decreases wake-up and extubation times, and post Extubation morphine consumption, and increases awakening quality.
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate efficacy and adverse events related to inhaled sevoflurane for long-term sedation compared with standard intravenous (IV) sedation with propofol or midazolam.

Daily interruption of sedative infusions in critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation

TL;DR: A randomized, controlled trial involving 128 adult patients who were receiving mechanical ventilation and continuous infusions of sedative drugs in a medical intensive care unit found that the intervention group increased the median duration of mechanical ventilation, as compared with 7.3 days in the control group.

Delirium as a predictor of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit

TL;DR: Delirium was an independent predictor of higher 6-month mortality and longer hospital stay even after adjusting for relevant covariates including coma, sedatives, and analgesics in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Effect of a nursing-implemented sedation protocol on the duration of mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: The use of protocol-directed sedation can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation, the intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay, and the need for tracheostomy among critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure.

Current practices in sedation and analgesia for mechanically ventilated critically ill patients: a prospective multicenter patient-based study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a patient-based survey of practices to fully describe the assessment and the management of pain and sedation of a large cohort of mechanically ventilated patients during their first week of intensive care unit (ICU) stay.

Overestimation of Bispectral Index in Sedated Intensive Care Unit Patients Revealed by Administration of Muscle Relaxant

TL;DR: The authors conclude that clinicians who determine the amount of sedation in intensive care unit patients only from BIS monitoring may expose them to unnecessary oversedation.
