Dexmedetomidine for Non-invasive Ventilation After Chest Trauma

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Thoracic Injuries
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02537366
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

Crossover randomized controlled double blinded trial :

* The primary endpoint is the duration of Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) session (minutes) with dexmedetomidine (DEX) or placebo.

* Secondary endpoints will be the sedation level as assessed by the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS), the number of interventions to allow the completion of NIV session, the pain intensity level as assessed by visual analogue scale, the morphine and ketamine consumption during NIV sessions, the comparison of blood gas measurements before and after NIV sessions, the reproducibility of NIV cycles. The side effects of DEX will be notified.

PlaceboPlaceboSodium Chloride 0,9 % Continuous IV infusion begun one hour before NIV session at 0.07 ml/kg/h Adaptation to sedation status by changing infusion speed of 0.02 ml/kg/h every 30 minutes up to 0.14 ml/kg/h Sedation objective Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale -3 (moderate sedation) to 0 (alert and calm)
DEXDexmedetomidineDexmedetomidine diluted to 10 µg/ml in Sodium Chloride 0,9 % Continuous IV infusion begun one hour before NIV session at 0.7 µg/kg/h (= 0.07 ml/kg/h) Adaptation to sedation status by changing infusion speed of 0.2 µg/kg/h (= 0.02 ml/kg/h) every 30 minutes up to 1.4 µg/kg/h (= 0.14 ml/kg/h) Sedation objective Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale -3 (moderate sedation) to 0 (alert and calm)
