Abstract
The reasons for sedation in neurointensive care can be divided into two main groups: (i) general indications, as for other intensive care patients, such as to allow the necessary treatments (therapeutic facilitation), controlling the states of agitations em leader; (ii) specific indications due to the neuro-physiologic effect of the sedatives: facilitation of the control of the intracranial pressure and lowering of the cortical excitability during the epileptic fits and thereby helping the recovery of the cerebral tissue and diminishing the secondary brain insults. It is important to remember that sedation is usually combined with the administration of opioids, which can potentiate the effect of the sedative drugs. The interruption of the sedation can be long- or short-termed. The definitive interruption is possible once the clinical and cerebral state of the patient does not justify any sedation, whereas the brief interruption allows a neurological reassessment. The amount of literature on sedation in intensive care is opposed to the few studies on neurointensive care: in January 2003, the American Society of Intensive Care has published recommendations for this topic without mentioning the interruption of sedation in neurointensive care patients. The aim of this article is to review the literature about the effects of the interruption of the sedation in neurointensive care patients.
