REMIMID-ICU: Remimazolam vs Midazolam for Deep Sedation in Hemodynamically Unstable, Mechanically Ventilated Adults
- Conditions
- Critical Illness; Mechanical Ventilation; Shock
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT07155265
- Lead Sponsor
- Yancheng First People's Hospital
- Brief Summary
This trial evaluates whether remimazolam provides superior sedation quality compared with midazolam in adults receiving invasive mechanical ventilation with ongoing vasopressor support. The primary outcome is the percentage of time within target sedation (RASS -3 to -5) without rescue sedative during the first 48 hours after randomization. Key secondary outcomes include vasopressor exposure (NEE AUC 0-48h), time to awakening, delirium incidence, ventilator-free days, and 28-day mortality.

Group Intervention Description Arm A - Remimazolam Remimazolam Besylate Continuous IV infusion; start 0.10 mg/kg/h and titrate every 15-30 minutes in 0.025-0.05 mg/kg/h steps to target RASS -3 to -5 (allowable range -2 to -5 for clinical safety). Maximum typical rate 0.20 mg/kg/h; temporary higher rates permitted per protocol for breakthrough agitation. Arm B - Midazolam Midazolam Continuous IV infusion; start 0.04 mg/kg/h and titrate every 15-30 minutes in 0.01-0.03 mg/kg/h steps to target RASS -3 to -5 (allowable range -2 to -5). Maximum typical rate 0.20 mg/kg/h per protocol.
