Cost-effectiveness of inhaled vs. IV sedation in ICU
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares the cost and effectiveness of two types of sedation (inhaled vs. IV propofol) for adults on a breathing machine in the ICU at Hospital H+ Querétaro.

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 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 tests if ketamine is a better sedative than other medicines for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. If you are currently sedated but not with ketamine, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a sedative called dexmedetomidine (vs. a placebo) in older adults on breathing machines in the ICU, to see if it helps them recover faster. It's focused on patients who are likely to need sedation for at least the next two days.
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 sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
