Abstract

Patients in a critical care unit (CCU) are exposed to multiple external stimuli and an unfamiliar environment, in addition to the rigors of their primary disease; all of these are the stress factors for the patient. Titrated sedation has a pivotal role in easing the stress. Sedation also helps patients better tolerate procedural pain and discomfort.

Key words: Sedatives; COVID-19; Ventilation, non–invasive
