Abstract
Sedation in intensive care units (ICUs) is pivotal for patient management, affecting outcomes such as length of stay and patient comfort. The variety of sedation protocols and their impacts on patient outcomes remain inadequately evaluated on a cross‐sectional basis. This study was a cross‐sectional analysis of 200 patients in a tertiary care hospital's ICU. We assessed the correlation between different sedation protocols and patient outcomes, including recovery time and incidence of complications. Preliminary results indicate significant variances in outcomes based on sedative choice, dose, and administration schedule. Understanding these correlations can guide the optimization of sedation protocols to improve patient outcomes in ICUs.
