A trend towards reduction in duration was seen.
A significant reduction in duration of OPAT therapy was observed over time.
To our knowledge, this is the first study, showing a reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation.
Dexmedetomidine also led to a reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation compared with midazolam but not compared with propofol.
As expected, although statistically not significant, a trend towards reduction in duration was seen, whereas the headache frequency was unchanged.
Doig and co-workers showed a small reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation in patients on EPN [23].
Conclusion: The nurse implementation of a sedation and analgesia algorithm was associated with a trend towards reduction in duration of MV, ICU and hospital length of stay.
The study group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in duration to achieve haemostasis (1.2 vs. 251.9 s; P < 0.001) and wound closure (152.8 vs. 328.8 s; P < 0.001) in comparison with the control group.
However the CH attacks gradually came back, occurring at the same frequency and severity of the baseline, but with a significant reduction in duration: from 40 180 min at baseline, to 20 35 min with active HF10 SCS.
RESULTS: We recorded a total of 600 aura episodes from a total of 200 subjects: Aurastop® produced more than 50% reduction in duration in 180 patients ( 90%of the total ) and disability in 185 patients( 92,5%).
However, given the significant reduction in duration of antifungal treatment of 6 days in patients with de-escalation, compared with those with no de-escalation, a lower cost could be expected in these patients.
