Evaluation of nurse-led sedation protocols on clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated adults within intensive care units: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This research aims to assess the effectiveness of nurse-led sedation protocols on clinical outcomes including ICU mortality for mechanically ventilated patients.
Conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Evaluated outcomes related to nurse-led sedation protocols versus usual care.
Included studies focused on mechanically ventilated adults in ICU settings.
Associated with improvements in other clinical outcomes.
Demonstrated effectiveness and safety compared to usual care.
Abstract
Compared to usual care, nurse-led sedation protocol can improve ICU mortality and other clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated ICU patients safely and effectively.
