Sedation practices and outcomes in ventilated children
This study looks at how different sedation practices affect outcomes in children who need a breathing machine. If your child is in the PICU and on a ventilator, this trial could help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old.
- Your child must be in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
- Your child must need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours.
- Your child must receive sedation or pain medication during that time.
- Your child cannot have been put on the breathing machine after a cardiac arrest.

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 compares two ways of giving sedation (medicine to keep children calm and comfortable) to children on a breathing machine. One way is continuous sedation, and the other is pausing the sedation daily to see if the child can wake up. The goal is to find which approach is better for recovery.
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 trial checks whether a special EEG sensor can reliably monitor sedation in children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who are on a ventilator. It may help the care team adjust sedation more safely and accurately.
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 study tests different ways of giving sedation to adults with severe pneumonia who are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It aims to find the best sedation approach to help them recover.
