Scientific titleOutcome of nicotine replacement therapy in the patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit: a randomised case-control double blinded prospective trial
Study objectivesNicotine replacement therapy decreases the length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay and increases ventilator free days in intubated patients.
Ethics approval(s)Independent Institutional Review Board (chaired by Dr. Joseph Chang, M.D) approved on the 1st December 2009 (ref: 2009.23)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSmoking cessation
InterventionInterventional arm:
After randomising patients into case and control, we applied nicotine patch containing nicotine 21 mg on the skin for patients who were cases. We applied it every day until patient was discharged from the ICU, transferred to General medical floor or until 10 weeks (if the patient was in ICU for 10 weeks).

Control arm:
For the control group the frequency and the duration was same but the patch did not contain nicotine.

Patients were unaware if they had nicotine patch or placebo patch. Patches were applied within 24 - 48 hours of ICU admission. Twenty four hours after the application of patch data was collected. The data collection researcher did not know which patient had nicotine patch and which patient had placebo. Patient was only followed up until the ICU stay.
