Comparing sedation methods for patients on breathing machines with low blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways of giving sedatives and pain medicine to people who are on a breathing machine and have unstable blood pressure, to see which approach better keeps their heart and blood pressure stable. It will help doctors choose the safest sedation for critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be on a breathing machine (ventilator) with a breathing tube placed very recently (within the last 12 hours).
- You need to be receiving medicine to help you relax and ease pain (sedatives and painkillers).
- You must have low blood pressure (even with medicine to support it) around the time the breathing tube is placed.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have a recent brain injury (like a stroke or head trauma) or a spinal cord injury, and you must not be allergic to the study medications.

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 compares two sedation medicines commonly used for patients on a breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to see if one of them helps prevent confusion or delirium while patients are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
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 ways of giving sedation (medicine to keep children calm and comfortable) to children on a breathing machine. One way is continuous sedation, and the other is pausing the sedation daily to see if the child can wake up. The goal is to find which approach is better for recovery.
This study compares different ways of monitoring how deeply sedated patients are while on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It aims to find the best approach to keep you comfortable and safe in the intensive care unit.
