Sedation guided by breathing effort in ICU patients
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.

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 types of sedation (medicine to keep you calm and comfortable) for people in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need a breathing machine. It looks at which approach is more cost-effective and may help guide better care.
This study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
