Effect & Safety of Inhaled Isoflurane vs IV Midazolam for Sedation in Mechanically Ventilated Children 3-17 Years Old

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Sedation
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04684238
Lead Sponsor
Sedana Medical
Brief Summary

This is a study to compare safety and efficacy of inhaled isoflurane delivered by the AnaConDa-S versus intravenous midazolam for sedation in mechanically ventilated children admitted to an intensive care unit.

Detailed Description

This is a phase III, multi-centre, prospective, randomized, active-controlled, assessor-blind study. Primary endpoint: percentage of time of adequately maintained sedation, in absence of rescue sedation, within the COMFORT-B interval (light, moderate, or deep sedation) prescribed at randomization, monitored every 2 hours for an expected minimum of 12 hours (up to 48 hours).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of time adequate sedation depthMinimum of 12 hours up to 48 hours (± 6 hours).
