Title: Safety of clonidine and quetiapine in post-cardiac surgery intensive care unit patients Purpose: Critical care of the cardiac surgical patient is a challenging and dynamic topic that requires a multidisciplinary team to ensure patient safety. Moreover‚ clonidine and quetiapine are commonly used agents in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. However‚ the safety of these agents in cardiac surgery patients is yet to be established.
