- Lead Sponsor
- Siriraj Hospital
- Brief Summary
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of sedation protocol targeting optimal respiratory drive using P0.1 and arousal level compared with conventional sedation strategy (targeting arousal level alone) in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit.
- Detailed Description
Objective: to assess the efficacy of sedation protocol targeting optimal respiratory drive using P0.1 and RASS score compared with conventional sedation strategy (targeting RASS score alone) in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit
The main questions it aims to answer are:
• Will titration of sedation targeting optimal respiratory drive assessed by P0.1 and arousal level improve outcomes in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical ICU?
Study protocol Mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the medical ICU will be screened daily by the investigators. If the patients meet the eligibility criteria, they will be informed about the study protocol and potential risks and undergo informed consent. Then patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio and allocated to each study group (intervention and control group).
* After allocation, patients will be monitored for arousal level using RASS score and respiratory drive by P0.1 measured automatically from mechanical ventilators during the study period.
* Sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents used will be adjusted according to the group to which patients are allocated.
* Intervention group: Adjustment of sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents to achieve the target of light sedation (RASS 0 to -2) and optimal P0.1 (1.5 to 3.5 cmH2O) for 48 hours
* Control group: Adjustment of sedation to achieve the target of light sedation (RASS 0 to -2) alone for 48 hours
Researchers will compare the outcomes (rate of successful extubation, ICU and hospital mortality, ICU and hospital length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, amount and duration of sedation used during the study period) between the above sedation protocol (interventional group) and conventional sedation strategy (control group)
