Comparing two sedation medicines for ICU patients on breathing machines
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Hospital H+ Querétaro.
- You need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 24 hours.
- You receive either inhaled sedation (breathing in the medicine) or continuous propofol (given through an IV) for sedation.

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 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 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 trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This trial compares inhaled isoflurane sedation to standard propofol sedation in deeply sedated patients on ventilators. It aims to see if inhaled sedation improves outcomes.
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.
