TL;DR
This study suggests that strategies targeted at reducing the use of continuous i.v. sedation could shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation for some patients.
Abstract
We conclude from these preliminary observational data that the use of continuous i.v. sedation may be associated with the prolongation of mechanical ventilation. This study suggests that strategies targeted at reducing the use of continuous i.v. sedation could shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation for some patients. Prospective randomized clinical trials, using well-designed sedation guidelines and protocols, are required to determine whether patient-specific outcomes (eg, duration of mechanical ventilation, patient comfort) can be improved compared with conventional sedation practices.

In the population of critically ill patients sedated with midazolam or propofol over prolonged periods, midazoliaam and propofolia were equally effective as sedative agents, however, despite remarkable differences in the cost of sedation, the economic profile is more favorable for propofols than for midazoliam due to a shorter weaning time associated with this two agents.
