Propofol for the promotion of sleep in adults in the intensive care unit.

CONCLUSIONS: We found insufficient evidence to determine whether administration of propofol would improve the quality and quantity of sleep in adults in the ICU. We noted differences in study designs, methodology, comparative agents and illness severity amongst study participants. We did not pool data and we used the GRADE approach to downgrade the certainty of our evidence to very low. PMID: 29308828 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
