In scenarios similar to ours in terms of sedative consumption and MV duration, we can affirm that the implementation of a simple sedation policy using a monitoring tool is feasible and provides clinical benefits.
The researchers hypothesized that the cumulative effect of anticholinergic and sedative medications would be linear, and a simple additive model was used to establish the total anticholinergic and sedative burden.
These range from a simple dulling of awareness produced by sedatives, to increases in the intensity of sensory qualities produced by stimulants, cannabis, empathogens entactogens such as MDMA ("Ecstasy"), or most notably by the class of drugs known as psychedelics.
The implementation of a light sedation policy is feasible in a group of nonteaching hospitals, and systematic monitoring of sedative consumption seems to be a simple and objective instrument for supporting the accomplishment of a protocol on a large scale.
We developed a simple minimal sedation protocol and a reliable monitoring tool based on the consumption of sedatives in the entire ICU.
"A book may be a stimulant or a sedative or an irritant or a soporific.
As the anesthesiologist injects a sedative, a telephone rings.
