The impact of aggressive and conservative propensity for initiation of neuromuscular blockade in mechanically ventilated patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in ventilated patients may cause benefit or harm. We applied "incremental interventions" to determine the impact of altering NMB initiation aggressiveness. ⋯ Aggressive or conservative initiation of NMB may worsen mortality. In healthier populations, marginally conservative NMB initiation strategies may lead to increased ventilator free days with minimal impact on mortality.
