We discuss the importance of sedation management in neurocritical care, considering recent research findings and clinical guidelines. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have highlighted the significance of sedation interruption protocols in improving patient outcomes in the ICU setting. Evidence suggests that daily sedation interruptions can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay, and mortality rates. However, the implementation of these protocols requires careful consideration of patient-specific factors and a multidisciplinary approach. Sedation vacations play a critical role in neurocritical care by reducing mechanical ventilation duration, ICU stay length, and mortality rates. Despite the benefits, the presence of complications must be addressed to avoid adverse outcomes. Continued research is necessary to refine these strategies and improve guideline quality, ensuring safe and effective sedation management in critically ill neurological patients.<p> 40746 Quality of Health Care Respiration, Artificial 10.1007/s11910-024-01383-6 Drugs and Drug Therapy Brain 23553 Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports Critical Care 2024-12-14T22:07:15.519-06:00 12 Nervous System Diseases Sedation vacations in neurocritical care: friend or foe? document-rn38228 public
