  1. All values in median (IQR) or number (%). Each value is calculated from a mean for each patient in the first 14 days of their intensive care stay. *One milliliter corresponds to 0.01 μg/kg/minute. CRRT: continuous renal replacement therapy. $, Morphine median value for entire period of mechanical ventilation. ** Renal impairment according to RIFLE class Risk, Injury or Failure. #, Time before patients was shifted to support ventilation.
