Comparing two sedatives for ICU breathing tube placement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 two medications (ciprofol and propofol) used to keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while they receive non-invasive breathing support, such as oxygen masks or tubes that help them breathe without a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer.
This study tests whether ketamine, a sedative and painkiller, works better than usual sedatives in ICU patients who need help breathing. If you qualify, taking part may help reduce the amount of other sedatives you need.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or ketamine is better at reducing inflammation and keeping blood pressure stable in patients recovering from emergency abdominal surgery. It may help doctors choose the best sedation for you after surgery.
This study compares two computer-controlled methods for delivering propofol sedation to ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to determine which method provides safer and more effective sedation for critically ill patients.
