Abstract

Introduction: within the Intensive Care Unit, procedures such as sedation are performed in order to provide relaxation to the patient, for the use of sedatives parameters such as medical prescription, patient condition, type of sedation, adverse effects, etc. will be taken into account.  
Objective: analyze the use of sedative drugs in critically ill patients from a national to international perspective. 
Methods: a descriptive and qualitative study was carried out, through a meticulous bibliographic search of the last 5 years, finally 35 articles were obtained in different databases such as Pudmed, Elsevier, SciELO, Wiley and Scopus. 
Results: among the main results, both national and international perspectives were found about the most frequently used sedatives in the intensive care service. 
Conclusions: it was found that the sedatives with the highest risk of delirium are Benzodiazepines compared to Propofol, in turn the first-line sedative used in the Intensive Care Unit is dexmedetomidine.
