New monitoring system for sedation in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to an adult intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need sedation for more than 24 hours.
- You need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for more than 24 hours.
- You do not have a brain condition causing the need for a breathing machine, such as a recent cardiac arrest or severe liver failure.
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests a new way to give pain and sedation medicines in the ICU. It uses a special brain wave monitor (EEG) to help doctors adjust your medicines more precisely, aiming to keep you comfortable and safe.
This trial is comparing a new type of inhaled sedative (volatile sedation) to usual IV sedatives for people with ARDS who are on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to see if it can help patients breathe better and recover more quickly.
This study tests a “goal-directed” approach to sedation (giving the right amount based on target goals) for children who need a breathing machine in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to reduce brain and recovery side effects while keeping children comfortable and safe.
This trial checks whether a special EEG sensor can reliably monitor sedation in children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who are on a ventilator. It may help the care team adjust sedation more safely and accurately.
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 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.
