Clinical Trial[Changes in kaliemia following rapid sequence induction with succinylcholine in critically ill patients].
Evaluate the changes in potassium following rapid sequence induction with succinylcholine in critically ill-patients and determine whether hospital length of stay could influence the succinylcholine-induced hyperkaliemia. ⋯ Induction with succinylcholine is followed by significant but transient hyperkaliema. The ICU length of stay before giving succinylcholine could influence significantly the amplitude of potassium increase.

[Economic and clinical impact of a controlled sedation procedure in an intensive care unit].
Since the last consensus conducted by Sfar/SRLF, the use of protocol for sedation became the reference in our ICUs. Decrease in length of stay and length of mechanical ventilation with used of these protocols have been already described. We would like to investigate the economic impact associated. ⋯ We confirm in this study that use of sedation protocol in ICU is associated with a clinical impact but also with an economic effect.
