Early sedation depth is an independent predictor of delayed extubation and long-term mortality in ventilated critically ill patients, highlighting it as a potential target for intervention.
Abstract
Early sedation depth independently predicts delayed extubation and increased mortality, making it a potential target for interventional studies.
