Waking up from sedation in critically ill patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how patients on breathing machines wake up after being given sedation. It aims to learn more about the process of coming off sedation and the breathing machine, which may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
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.
This trial tests whether using a special brain monitor (BIS) to guide sedation after heart surgery helps with recovery compared to standard care. It is for adults who will be on a breathing machine and sedated for more than 6 hours after their operation.
This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This study tests whether adding ketamine to sedation medications helps patients recover better after they no longer need a breathing machine in the hospital. Researchers want to see if it reduces confusion and speeds up healing.
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
