Preventing caRdiovascular collapsE with VasoprEssors duriNg Tracheal IntubatiON: The PREVENTION Randomized Controlled Trial (PREVENTION trial)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-503895-25-00

What this study is testing

To determine the potential for pre-emptive vasopressor therapy to reduce the rate of cardiovascular collapse (composite endpoint) among critically ill adults undergoing endotracheal intubation.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Planned procedure is in-hospital urgent tracheal intubation and planned operator is a provider expected to routinely perform endotracheal intubation in the participating unit
  • Patient has a Critical illness (i.e. life-threatening condition requiring tracheal intubation for cardiorespiratory failure or neurological impairment).
  • Administration of sedation (with or without neuromuscular blockade) is planned
  • Written informed consent is provided by the patient and/or next-of-kin. If the patient will be unable to receive information and no next-of-kin can be contacted during screening for the trial, patient enrollment will be completed as an emergency procedure by the ICU physician, according to local national legislation.
  • Planned operator is a provider expected to routinely perform endotracheal intubation in the participating unit

You likely can't join if

  • Vasopressors/inotropes at the moment of screening for eligibility.
  • Previous enrollment in the PREVENTION trial
  • Hypersensitivity to noradrenaline or to any of the excipients.
  • MAP < 60 mmHg or > 120 mmHg at the moment of screening for eligibility
  • Urgency of intubation precludes safe performance of study procedures
  • Cardiac arrest requiring tracheal intubation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
