To study the therapeutic effect of ketamine nebulization in ARDS based on Murray Score.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of study is to estimate the effect of ketamine nebulization in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). In this study,  20-50 years old, mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted to the ICU with diagnosis of ARDS (based on Berlin’s criteria) would be included.

The patients will be divided into two groups-

  1. Group K will be treated with 0.75 mg/kg ketamine (diluted in normal saline to make volume of 5 ml) nebulization 3 times a day in addition to standard treatment of ARDS

  2. Group C will receive Conventional therapy with nebulization with 5 ml normal saline 3 times a day in addition to standard treatment of ARDS.

The following parameters will be recorded : - Demographic data; APACHE Score at the time of admission; Daily SOFA sco; Daily P/F ratio; Murray Score;  IL-6 level on Day 1,3 and 5; 28 days mortality; Sedative requirement; Vasopressor requirement(if any).

Patient will receive therapy uptill - Maximum for 5 days,Or PaO2/FiO2 ≥300, Or patient expires.
