Application of daily interruption of sedation to critial y il patients in the department of neurology
Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of daily interruption of sedation to critially ill patients with mechanical ventilation in the department of neurology .Methods:80 patients who meet the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the observation group ( daily inter-ruption of sedation ) and the control group ( continuous sedation ,40 cases in each group ) .The differences of the duration of mechanical ven-tilation,the retaining time of artificial airway ,length of stay in ICU and workload of nurses were observed in both groups .Results:The dura-tion of mechanical ventilation ,the retaining time of artificial airway and length of stay in ICU were shorter in the observation group than the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05);the workload of nurses was significantly heavier in the obser-vation group than the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion:Daily interruption of sedation can not significantly reduce the duration of me-chanical ventilation ,the retaining time of artificial airway and length of stay in ICU ,at the same time it increases the workload of clinical nurses,so daily interruption of sedation is not suitable for the critically ill patients in the department of neurology .
