Randomized Controlled Trial[Midazolam attenuates mental stress in conscious patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed next bed in intensive care unit].
To evaluate the mental stress level and alterations in circulatory physiology in conscious patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed next bed in intensive care unit (ICU), and to investigate the possible effective interventions. ⋯ Mental stress is significantly heightened in conscious patients during CPR performed next bed in ICU, and it induces severe circulatory physiological alterations. Psychological nursing alone is not affective in alleviating this acute mental stress. However, low dose of midazolam is found to be an effective intervention.
