| Core Tip |
Continuous infusion of benzodiazepines, such as midazolam, is associated with worse outcomes in critically ill patients. This study indicates that management by a dedicated critical care team (CCT) significantly reduces the use of midazolam, thereby reducing the risk of delirium and coma. CCT is especially effective when combined with organizational strengths, such as low patient-to-nurse ratios. Ultimately, a “virtuous circle” of care, in which CCT is an important player, is essential for improving outcomes through precise patient-centered sedo-analgesia. |
