Abstrakt: Critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation have traditionally been deeply sedated. In the latest decade growing evidence supports less sedation as being beneficial for the patients. A daily interruption of sedation has been shown to reduce the length of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in the intensive care unit. Recently it has been shown that a strategy with no sedation of critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation reduced the time patients received mechanical ventilation and reduced the length of both intensive care and hospital stay.
