This trial tests if a medication called dexmedetomidine (a sedative that can also stabilize heart rhythm) helps calm electrical storms—dangerous, repeated episodes of fast heartbeats. It is for people in the intensive care unit who are experiencing this emergency.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This trial tests a sedative drug (dexmedetomidine) to see if it helps calm agitation in patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury who are on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to improve comfort and recovery.
This trial tests if combining two medicines, esketamine and dexmedetomidine, is better than dexmedetomidine alone for calming severe confusion and agitation in ICU patients who need breathing support through a mask or nasal tubes. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to help patients rest and recover.
This study explores how people recover after being given a common sedative called dexmedetomidine. It may help doctors better understand and manage recovery from sedation.
This study tests a combination of two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, to help keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this combination works well for sedation and pain relief.
