Abstract

To compare the differences in the presence of protocols aimed at addressing complications for neurologically injured patients vs. non-neurologic injured patients in a large sample of ICUs across the United States.Prospective observational multi-center cohort study. This was a subgroup analysis of the multi-centered prospective observational cohort study of medical, surgical, and mixed intensive care units from across the country. USCIITG-CIOS study group.Sixty-nine ICUs participated in the study of which 25 (36%) were medical, 24 were surgical (35%) and 20 (29%) were of mixed type, and 64 (93%) were in teaching hospitals. There were 6179 patients across all sites with 1266 (20.4%) with central nervous system diagnoses. Protocol utilization in central nervous system vs. non- central nervous system patients was as follows: Sedation interruption 973/1266 (76.9%) vs. 3840/4913 (78.2%) (p?=?.32); acute lung injury ventilation 847/1266 (66.9%) vs. 4069/4913 (82.8%) (p?
