Article Abstract
Aim: This systematic review aimed to investigate the drugs used and their potential effect on noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
Background: NIV is used increasingly in acute respiratory failure (ARF). Sedation and analgesia are potentially beneficial in NIV, but they can have a deleterious impact. Proper guidelines to specifically address this issue and the recommendations for or against it are scarce in the literature. In the most recent guidelines published in 2017 by the European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society (ERS/ATS) relating to NIV use in patients having ARF, the well-defined recommendation on the selective use of sedation and analgesia is missing. Nevertheless, some national guidelines suggested using sedation for agitation.
Methods: Electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library) from January 1999 to December 2019 were searched systematically for research articles related to sedation and analgosedation in NIV. A brief review of the existing literature related to sedation and analgesia was also done.
Review Results: Sixteen articles (five randomized trials) were analyzed. Other trials, guidelines, and reviews published over the last two decades were also discussed. The present review analysis suggests dexmedetomidine as the emerging sedative agent of choice based on the most recent trials because of better efficacy with an improved and predictable cardiorespiratory profile.
Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that sedation has a potentially beneficial role in patients at risk of NIV failure due to interface intolerance, anxiety, and pain. However, more randomized controlled trials are needed to comment on this issue and formulate strong evidence-based recommendations.

Target controlled infusion in the intensive care unit: a scoping review.
J Clin Monit Comput
September 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems, originally developed for intravenous drug administration of anesthetic drugs, enable precise drug delivery based on pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models. While widely used in the operating room, their application in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains limited despite the complexity of drug dosing in critically ill patients. This scoping review evaluates existing evidence on the use of TCI systems in ICU settings, focusing on sedation, analgesia, and antibiotic administration.

The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) has been used to assess discomfort in anesthetized adults. The COMFORT Behavior Scale (CBS) is recommended for assessing discomfort in intubated and sedated children. The primary objective of the present study was to assess the validity and performance of the ANI as an indicator of discomfort in intubated, ventilated children in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Introduction: The goal of perioperative management in reactive airway disease (RAD) patients is to ensure optimal airway stability, maintain adequate oxygenation, and reduce the need for mechanical ventilation while minimizing airway irritation and inflammation. Due to the airway hyperresponsiveness and increased risk of respiratory complications in RAD patients, non-opioid adjuncts that provide both bronchodilation and analgesia are preferred. Lignocaine and magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) have emerged as effective agents in this context.

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of hematoma block (HB) and dexmedetomidine administration on pain control, reduction quality, and physician satisfaction during the reduction of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the emergency department (ED).
Methods: A total of 60 patients presenting to the ED with DRFs were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: one received HB, while the other underwent conscious sedation with dexmedetomidine.
