“…We screened 61 studies. One study was excluded because the duration of sedation was not specified, 59 four studies were excluded because limited data were reported, [60][61][62][63] four studies were excluded because outcomes irrelevant to this analysis were evaluated, [64][65][66][67] one study was excluded because propofol was primarily compared with an analgesic and midazolam was used as needed, 68 and one study was excluded because overnight anxiolysis was studied. 69 Reports of three studies were published in duplicate.…”
Propofol, midazolam, and lorazepam had the lowest expected costs for short-, intermediate-, and long-term sedation, respectively. Many factors aside from drug costs influenced the cost of sedation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
