On the other hand deep sedation could be life threatening in the case of compromised airway.
On the other hand, since continuous sedation remained an independent predictor of ARDS after the period of observation was controlled for, it could be that this is simply a surrogate marker for severity of illness which is not captured by traditional scoring tools.
The bundle focused on a few number of targeted measures: Subglottic aspiration, tracheal cuff pressure monitoring, gastric overdistension avoidance, backrest elevation, chlorhexidine oral hygiene, nonessential tracheal suction elimination, sedation protocols, hand hygiene and glove and gown use.
On the other hand, our data suggest that higher sedation in the early phase after cardiac arrest might promote less secondary brain injury and better implementation of protective mechanical ventilation.
We standardized certain procedures, such as the method of securing endotracheal and nasogastric tubes, the use of sedation, and the use of hand and chest restraints.
The underlying understanding of the patient as a human being was expressed during the SN's participation in the patient's sedation, in which she placed her hand on the patient's shoulder while assisting the anesthetic nurse.
Washington, who also suffered a fractured hand, was initially placed in intensive care under heavy sedation, her brother told the BBC, needing machines to help her breathe.
The primary endpoint was recovery time from termination of sedation (extubation time, spontaneous eye opening and hand grip).
European experts proposed in 2010 only two procedures in addition to general measures such as hand hygiene, staff education and nonventilatory circuit change: control of sedation with protocol of weaning and oral care with chlorhexidine [12].
Therefore, we often had to continue NIV with sedation as palliative care, which might on one hand contribute in some degree to the high mortality rate, and on the other hand contribute to prolonging useless agony.
