Summary

This small pilot study tested a computer-controlled system that automatically gives the sedative propofol to deeply sedated patients in the intensive care unit who are on breathing machines. The goal was to see if the system could keep patients properly sedated while using less medication compared to usual care. Twenty adults who needed deep sedation for more than 48 hours took part in the trial.
