In our trial, both interventions started very early, since all patients were randomized in less than 48 hours, and we used a very small amount of sedatives in both arms compared to previous [6, 7, 23 25], but not all studies [9].
Often, the small benefit that sedative-hypnotics have in this population does not justify the increased risk of adverse health outcomes, 119 even following ICU admittance.

Some services had protocols based on administering a muscle relaxant only; some combined this with a small dose of a sedative or analgesic, whereas some administered a traditional RSI.
Most of them exert a sedative effect in small doses and a hypnotic effect in larger doses.
Although several small single-center studies demonstrate low rates of sedative drug administration after ETI in the emergency department (ED), little is known regarding post-ETI sedative drug practices nationally.
Hierarchical clustering of the profiles clustered the small molecules into two broad states, arousing and sedative.
Residents' use of sedative drugs after a 13-week small groups training program targeted at all nursing home staff members was examined in another study (Kuske 2009 [ 19]).
Sedatives, he explained, were only a small part of the anxiety-relieving buffet — and not a very nutritional one.
