简要总结
Effectiveness of sedation using dexmedetomidine and ketamine to facilitate non-invasive ventilation sessions which improve overall outcome after blunt chest trauma
详细描述
Chest trauma remains an issue for health services for both severe and apparently mild trauma management. Severe chest trauma is associated with high mortality and is considered liable for 25% of mortality in multiple traumas. Moreover, mild trauma is also associated with significant morbidity especially in patients with preexisting conditions. Thus, whatever the severity, a fast-acting strategy must be organized.
Blunt traumas are commonly secondary to motor vehicle accidents, falls, and crush or blast injuries. They are the most common type of thoracic trauma, accounting for over 90%, and are often associated with rib fractures, haemothorax, pneumothorax, and pulmonary contusions.
In order to improve the prognosis of patients with severe chest trauma, early and continuous application of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) can indeed reduce the need for intubation and shorten intensive care unit length-of-stay Among different mechanisms, the early use of positive end-expiratory pressure after chest trauma, when feasible, seems mandatory to optimize oxygenation and improve clinical outcomes. Indeed, interventions aimed at preventing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after chest trauma carry the greatest potential to reduce the substantial morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization associated with this syndrome.
Notably, pain control seems a crucial endpoint in our success to deliver non-invasive ventilation to patients with chest trauma, when feasible as a pivotal component of patient care after chest trauma, along with non-invasive ventilation. In this context, the role of intensivist doctors is thus to provide optimal control of chest wall pain, respiratory comfort, agitation, and anxiety as a prerequisite to reduce the incidence of NIV failure in this trauma population.
In this context, dexmedetomidine could be an alternative to improve NIV tolerance. Dexmedetomidine is a short-acting alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist that provides sedation and analgesia with no significant respiratory depression and a reduced risk of delirium.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dexmedetomidine
patients will receive two NIV sessions during which intravenous continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine will be given.
The infusion was initiated 60 min prior to NIV at the same rate for all treatments, corresponding to 0.7 mcg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine without a loading dose. Dexmedetomidine will then titrate by 0.2 mcg/kg/h every 60 min (up to a maximum dose of 1.3 mcg/kg/h) to maintain a RASS score between 0 and 3. A 6-h washout period was observed between two NIV sessions accounting for 1-h contextual half-life of dexmedetomidine. Patients received neither tested drug nor NIV during this 6-h interval.
干预措施: Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride (Drug)
Ketamine
patients will receive two NIV sessions during which intravenous continuous infusion of ketamine will be given.
The infusion was initiated 60 min prior to NIV at the same rate for all treatments, infusion of ketamine will be at the dose of 0.20 mg/kg/h (or 3.3 mg/kg/min). to maintain a RASS score between 0 and 3. A 6-h washout period was observed between two NIV sessions . Patients received neither tested drug nor NIV during this 6-h interval.
Following the start of the infusion, the patient could have a morphine dose if the 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) exceeded 3.
干预措施: Ketamine Hydrochloride (Drug)
Placebo
patients will receive two NIV sessions during which intravenous continuous infusion of placebo (0.9% sodium chloride solution) will be given.
The infusion was initiated 60 min prior to NIV at the same rate for all treatments, corresponding to 0.7 mcg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine without a loading dose. will then titrate by 0.2 mcg/kg/h every 60 min (up to a maximum dose of 1.3 mcg/kg/h) to maintain a RASS score between 0 and 3. A 6-h washout period was observed between two . Patients received neither tested drug nor NIV during this 6-h interval.
Following the start of any infusion, the patient could have a morphine dose if the 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) exceeded 3.
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
