چکیده
Introduction Patient comfort is a priority in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Narcotics are used to ensure optimal comfort and to facilitate patient management, including mechanical ventilation and other interventions.

However, little data is available on the use of narcotic medications before and after ICU admission. We sought to describe narcotic use in this population over a multi-year time period.
