Sedation overuse is frequent and possibly associated with poor outcomes in the intensive care 

unit (ICU) patients. However, the association of early over-sedation with clinical outcomes 
has not been thoroughly evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess the association of 
early sedation strategies with outcomes of critically ill adult patients under mechanical 
ventilation.
