Duration of mechanical intubation (14.7 vs. 18.5 d, p = 0.078), ICU length of stay (16.4 vs. 21.3 d, p = 0.033), and hospital length of stay (22.5 vs 27.8 d, p = 0.039) were all shorter in the ED-intubated population. B Introduction: b Patients receiving mechanical ventilation frequently require sedation and analgesia within the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU) to appropriately control pain and agitation. B Conclusions: b Time to analgesia post-intubation in COVID-19 patients was shorter in patients intubated in the ICU versus the ED, and this finding is similar to previously published data in non-COVID-19 populations.
