Recruiting PHASE4 Sedation

New treatment option for Sedation

Official title Inhaled Sedation in Critically Ill Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07000526

What this study is testing

What is Isoflurane?

Isoflurane is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for sedation.

Also referred to as Inhaled sedation with Isoflurane.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The proposal of this study is to compare inhaled sedation with isoflurane administered via the Sedaconda ACD-S system with intravenous sedation with propofol. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either inhaled sedation with isoflurane administered via the Sedaconda ACD device (Sedana Medical, Uppsala, Sweden) or intravenous propofol.
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.

Who can join
  • \- Adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation, with an anticipated duration \>48 hours after randomization, and requiring deep sedation (target RASS between -3 and -5).
What rules you out
  • Contraindication to isoflurane or propofol
  • Patients with maternal ancestry from Venezuela, due to the potential presence of an mt-ND4 gene mutation associated with neurological injury after exposure to certain volatile anaesthetic agents
  • Significant air leak, defined as a leak exceeding 30% of the delivered minute ventilation
  • Allergy to isoflurane or propofol
  • Cardiopulmonary arrest
  • History of ventricular tachycardia or long QT syndrome
  • Tidal volume \ 50 mmHg at the time of randomization.
  • Invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours at the time of randomization.
  • Pregnancy
  • Breast feeding
  • Acute neurological condition
  • Patients expected to require repeated surgical interventions during their ICU stay.
  • ECMO
  • ECCO2R
  • Active humidification strictly required
  • Neuromuscular disease or high spinal cord injury likely to prevent discontinuation of mechanical ventilation due to baseline condition
  • Requirement for benzodiazepine use for a specific indication
  • Burns
  • Life expectancy less than 48 hours, or patients with such a level of severity that death during the ICU stay is considered highly likely.
  • Any condition (e.g., blindness, deafness, dementia) or language barrier that prevents the administration of delirium or cognitive assessment scales.
  • Lack of informed consent
