Inhaled Sedation in Patients with COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: An International Retrospective Study †
Abstract
:1. Key Points Summary
- Question: Compared to a standard care strategy of intravenous sedation, does inhaled sedation affect clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 ARDS?
- Findings: The number of ventilator-free days through day 28 of inclusion did not differ significantly between patients who received inhaled sedation for at least 24 h and those who received intravenous sedation only.
- Meaning: In this retrospective multicenter cohort of 196 patients with COVID-19 ARDS, the use of inhaled sedation with sevoflurane or isoflurane was not associated with improved clinical outcomes; however, this strategy was feasible and safe, while reducing requirements for other sedative agents.
