About this study

Sedation and analgesia is necessary management for patients in the intensive care units. The high-level studies of sedation and analgesia in China are still deficient, especially in patients with brain injuries who even have been excluded from the relevant studies. In the present study, a multicenter, 1-day point cross-sectional study about the sedation and analgesia among patients in China, particularly brain-injured will be investigated. The objectives are to investigate sedation and analgesia among patients in China and to compare sedation and analgesia between brain injuries and other patients.
