  Multicenter Study

  Feasibility and impact of the implementation of a clinical scale-based sedation-analgesia protocol in severe burn patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. A before-after bi-center study.

  Severe burn patients undergo prolonged administration of sedatives and analgesics for burn care. There are currently no guidelines for the dose adaptation of sedation-analgesia in severe burn patients. ⋯ Scale-based lightening of continuous sedation-analgesia with repeated short general anesthesia for dressing is feasible in severe burn patients but failed to demonstrate a decrease in the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation.
