Ketamine vs. Etomidate for emergency breathing tube: long-term study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares how two common medicines (ketamine and etomidate) used during emergency breathing tube placement affect long-term recovery. It is only for patients already enrolled in another related trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two medicines (propofol and ketamine) used to help you relax and stay stable while a breathing tube is placed. The goal is to see which one is safer for your heart and blood pressure during this procedure in the ICU.
This trial tests whether delaying medication to start breathing support (by waiting 60 seconds after sedation) is safer for critically ill adults needing emergency intubation. Standard practice is to give sedation then immediately insert the tube.
This study tests whether adding ketamine to sedation medications helps patients recover better after they no longer need a breathing machine in the hospital. Researchers want to see if it reduces confusion and speeds up healing.
This trial compares different sleeping medicines (ketamine, propofol, and similar drugs) to see which is safest for people who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the operating room. It focuses on those at risk of stomach contents going into the lungs.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This study tests if ketamine is a better sedative than other medicines for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. If you are currently sedated but not with ketamine, you may be able to join.
