Moderate sedatives have been increasingly used to improve patient comfort during flexible bronchoscopy (FB). However, routine use of moderate sedation during FB is controversial because its efficacy and safety are not well established. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of moderate sedation during FB. A search was made of Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to May 2014. R...

BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the effects of nursing-implemented sedation protocol and daily interruption of sedative infusion on the duration of mechanical ventilation. METHODS Fifty patients receiving mechanical ventilation and requiring sedation in the intensive care unit (ICU) were randomly selected to receive either daily interruption of sedative infusion (Group P, n=25) or nursing-impl...

This study examined the relationship between temperament and sedation failure during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT). One hundred and two children (aged 3-7 years) who underwent MRI or CT with or without sedation were studied. Demographics, sedatives administered, efficacy of sedation, and adverse events were recorded. Parents completed the Behavioural Style Qu...
