Comparing sedation methods for severe pneumonia in the ICU
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at different ways to sedate patients on a breathing machine in the ICU who have severe pneumonia. The goal is to find which approach works best for recovery and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU.
- You need medicine to keep you calm (sedation) while on the breathing machine.
- You have severe pneumonia, meaning you need a breathing tube or have very low oxygen levels.
- You are being treated at Xiangya Hospital in the Respiratory ICU.

This study observes patients with pneumonia to better understand which patients become very sick and what happens to them over time. Researchers will collect information about your symptoms, test results, and how you recover to help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
This trial tests different treatment strategies for severe pneumonia in patients who are in the ICU, on a breathing machine, and sedated. The goal is to find the best approach to help you recover.
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 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.
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
This study compares two sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
