Figure 3From: Randomized trial comparing daily interruption of sedation and nursing-implemented sedation algorithm in medical intensive care unit patientsMixed-model repeated measures comparison of Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score over the course of mechanical ventilation in patients treated by daily interruption of sedation (solid line) and sedation algorithm (dashed line). The group treated by daily interruption of sedation had higher RASS scores (P = 0.049). Individual measurements are shown (× for sedation algorithm and ▪ for daily interruption of sedation).Back to article page
