    AbstractIn this article, sedation protocol research in the intensive care environment is critically examined, focusing upon the differences in outcomes from research conducted on mechanically ventilated patients in various countries. Limitations of the current research are discussed, with suggestions of how sedation protocol research may be conducted in future. Also, the monitoring of important clinical factors is discussed so that clinicians can assess the impact upon patients of changes to sedation management practices within their own ICU.Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
