Perceptions and practices regarding delirium, sedation and analgesia in critically ill patients: a narrative review

Abstract: A significant number of landmark studies have been published in the last decade that increase the current knowledge on sedation for critically ill patients. Therefore, many practices that were considered standard of care are now outdated. Oversedation has been shown to be hazardous, and light sedation and no-sedation protocols are associated with better patient outcomes. Delirium is increasingly recognized as a major form of acute brain dysfunction that is associated with higher mortality, longer duration of m… Show more

“…Delirium increases the time of mechanical ventilation, hospital stay and patient mortality. Subsyndrome also appears in recent studies, with a significant association with the length of hospital stay in the ICU and hospital, causing greater patient dependence after discharge, however, without association with mortality, and not presenting itself as a marker of disease severity, but as a risk factor for patients (1,(3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

“…Entretanto, é rotina da UTI a interrupção diária da sedação, o que pode ter favorecido na redução do tempo de permanência se comparado com o previsto pelo APACHE IV. A maioria dos pacientes admitidos em UTIs é submetida a altas doses de sedativos, acarretando no aumento do tempo de internação, no prolongamento do uso do suporte ventilatório e no risco de óbito devido a outras possíveis complicações 13 .…”
