Patients who receive analgesics while in the intensive care unit (ICU) are monitored for haemodynamic levels more frequently, they are given more sedative and neuromuscular blocking agents, and have more mechanical ventilation days, and longer intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay than other ICU patients.
Researchers at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, Memphis, Tennessee, United States, collected data on 400 adults admitted to the intensive care unit of an inner-city university-affiliated hospital. Data included demographics, use of sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents, frequency and duration of mechanical ventilation, haemodynamic monitoring, Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System score, Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, and hospital outcome.
