This is a prospective, non-randomized, open treatment protocol open to ICU patients at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn. Only patients with neurotrauma that require intubation will be eligible for enrollment. Patients will be treated according to the consulting neurosurgeons preference. No attempt will be made to influence the patient's routine care and management, as already stated. The choice of sedation type and use of the ICU Sedation Protocol will be at the consulting neurosurgeons discretion.
