[Prolonged propofol (Diprivan) infusion for sedation in the critically ill]. / Produlzhitelna infuziia na propofol (Diprivan) za sedirane na kritichni bolni.

Continued sedation has important practical implications on overcoming the physical and psychic stress which in turn, has important practical implications on the well-being of patients in conditions of intensive care unit. It is the purpose of the study to assess the quality and characteristics of sustained sedation with constant propofol (Diprivan) and fentanyl infusion. As a result of the study the inference is reached that sedation with Diprivan and fentanyl, administered as constant infusion, lends itself readily to control, and what is more, it is free of noteworthy side effects. To secure permanent sedation it is necessary to adapt the infusional rate to the clinical signs in compliance with the concrete patient and individual needs.
