Dexmedetomidine vs Midazolam or Propofol for Sedation During Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Short summary

Dexmedetomidine, an ICU sedative, was found to be non-inferior to midazolam and propofol for maintaining light to moderate sedation in mechanically ventilated patients. It also reduced mechanical ventilation duration compared to midazolam and improved patient pain communication versus both midazolam and propofol.
