Sedation and weaning from mechanical ventilation: time for 'best practice' to catch up with new realities?

Abstract

Delivery of sedation in anticipation of weaning of adult patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation is an arena of critical care medicine where opinion-based practice is currently hard to avoid because robust evidence is lacking. We offer some views on this subject, hoping to stimulate debate among colleagues.

Keywords: Intensive care; Mechanical ventilation; Sedation; Weaning.
