This study tests whether giving only sedation (not a paralytic drug) during emergency breathing tube placement can help you keep breathing on your own. It aims to see if this approach is safer and helps recovery.
This study compares two medications, propofol and esketamine, to see which is better for keeping patients calm and stable when they need a breathing tube placed urgently in the intensive care unit. The results may help doctors choose the safest option for critically ill patients.
This trial tests if adding ketamine to standard sedation helps people wake up faster and recover better after being on a breathing machine. It may reduce confusion and improve outcomes for critically ill patients.
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 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.
