Volatile anesthetics for ICU sedation: the future of critical care or niche therapy?
5 Sep, 2022 | 14:16h | UTC
Commentary on Twitter
Volatile anesthetics for #ICU sedation
➡️ ventilators adaptable to deliver
➡️ effective even in #ARDS
➡️ rapid on/offset, no accumulation
➡️ analgesic effect: opioid-sparing?
➡️ may preserve spont breathing
➡️ immunomodulatory/organ-protective effects?
