Table 7. Observed Benzodiazepine Sedation Patterns (n = 18)

Values are given as mean ± SD unless otherwise noted.

* Analysis of variance F test.

† Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0–100, where 0 = extremely difficult to titrate, 100 = extremely easy to titrate.

‡ Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0–100, where 0 = totally inadequate, 100 = perfectly adequate.

SS = sedation score; NA = not applicable because apparent differences were influenced by study design (see text).
