Abstract
Background
The present study aimed to explore sedation management in agitated patients who suffered from acute respiratory failure (ARF) and were treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
Patients and Methods
We divided 118 patients undergoing NIV treatment with butorphanol or propofol into two groups: group B (n = 57, butorphanol was initiated at the rate of 0.12 µg/kg/min as a continuous intravenous infusion and then titrated by 0.06 µg/kg/min every half an hour, group P (n = 61, propofol was initiated at the rate of 5 µg/kg/min as a continuous intravenous infusion and then titrated by 1.5 µg/kg/min every half an hour). Score of Sedation Agitation Scale (SAS) in the two groups was maintained between 3 and 4. Medications including sedative, analgesic, and antipsychotic, NIV intolerance score, SAS score, visual analog scale (VAS), medication use and adverse events were recorded repeatedly.
Results
Patients receiving butorphanol required significantly less total amount of fentanyl than patients receiving propofol during NIV to maintain the target VAS [0 (0–0) µg vs 150 (50–200) µg, P< 0.005]. Hemodynamic stability during NIV showed it was better kept in patients treated with butorphanol.
Conclusion
Butorphanol not only decreased the requirements of fentanyl but also enhanced hemodynamic stability in agitated patients suffering from ARF receiving NIV.
