Abstract
Analgesia and sedation for patients who are mechanically ventilated may improve endotracheal tube tolerance, alleviate pain, reduce agitation, and facilitate other aspects of care including imaging, procedures, and travel to different parts of the hospital. Notwithstanding these benefits, lighter levels of sedation are associated with improved patient outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) settings, including decreased duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay.
