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.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a breathing tube placed while you are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You (or your family) have given permission to join the study.
- The breathing tube is not being placed because your heart stopped.
- The tube will be placed inside the ICU.
- You are not currently having a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

This study looks at how the type of medicine used to start sedation in the surgical ICU affects early survival and recovery. It may help doctors choose safer options for critically ill patients.
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.
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 if ketamine is a better sedative than other medicines for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. If you are currently sedated but not with ketamine, you may be able to join.
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.
