Comparing continuous sedation vs daily breaks in ventilated children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking a daily break from sedation is better than continuous sedation for children on a breathing machine. It aims to find which approach helps children recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is diagnosed with pneumonia
- Your child needs a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours
- Your child requires sedation with an IV medicine called Midazolam
- You (parent or legal guardian) agree to the study and sign a consent form

This trial compares not using sedation at all versus daily breaks in sedation for people with COPD who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if one approach leads to better outcomes, such as shorter time on the ventilator.
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 Phase 3 trial tests a sedation approach using inhaled (“volatile”) anesthesia gases for children who need a ventilator. It aims to improve comfort and brain-related outcomes while they stay on the breathing machine for at least a day.
This study tests whether a sedative medication called dexmedetomidine can reduce confusion and delirium in children who need mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to see if it works better and safer than standard sedatives.
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 study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
