Filter by:Ciprofol is a novel 2,6-disubstituted phenol derivatives and is proved have much higher potency and tighter binding toward ɣ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor while maintaining a fast on-set and recovery time compared to propofol. Except lower incidence of hypotension and respiratory depression, it has no injection pain and infusion syndrome compared with propofol. There is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery in patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using ciprofol yet. However, according to study, early quality of recovery according to QoR-15 score is associated with one-month postoperative complications after elective surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any difference in the quality of postoperative recovery between ciprofol-based and propofol-based TIVA in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The QoR-15 questionnaire score, pain, nausea/vomiting, and the frequency of complications are evaluated and compared between the two groups.
The PARTNER study is a multicentre, two-arm, pragmatic cluster-randomised trial evaluating the impact of a focused and patient-centred cooperation between general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists (PARTNER intervention) on reductions in the use of psychotropic, sedative and anticholinergic potentially inappropriate medication (PSA-PIM) compared to a control intervention. The PARTNER intervention comprises (1) education for health care professionals, (2) an interprofessional workshop and case conference, (3) a pharmacy visit with brown bag/medication review and patient empowerment, (4) GP practice visit with shared decision making. The control intervention only comprises a pharmacy visit with brown bag review.
The aim of this study is to compare the bispectral index (BIS) and patient state index (PSI) during general anesthesia using remimazolam. The infusion rate of remimazolam is 6-12mg/kg/h during induction of anesthesia and 1-2mg/kg/h during maintenance of anesthesia. To calculate the fraction, the sum of times when BIS<60 and PSI <50 will be divided by the time from the loss of consciousness during induction of anesthesia to fully awake during emergence. We will compare the fraction of BIS <60 and the fraction of PSI <50 to find if there is some difference between the two depth of anesthesia monitoring devices during remimazolam anesthesia.
A prospective pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacogenetic (PG) observation study, including the PK/PD/PG relationship, in clonidine administered for analgesia and sedation to preterm newborn infants receiving neonatal intensive care. Phase 3 - therapeutic confirmatory study
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is the most used technique for identifying the obstruction site associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is due to the fact that it allows many patients to be examined in a daytime setting. This procedure uses sedative drugs to mimic natural sleep. However, associations with the site of upper airway (UA) collapse during natural sleep remain unclear. The aim of this explorative study is to identify UA collapse in patients with OSA using endoscopic techniques as well as flow shape characteristics and sound analyses during natural and drug-induced sleep. Furthermore, we want to optimize the measurement set-up of natural sleep endoscopy (NSE).
This study focuses on the evaluation of various factors repeatedly discussed in relation to the impaired sedation of intubated ventilated COVID-19 patients. The sedation response of >100 moderately to severely affected COVID-19 ARDS was evaluated. The sedation level was measured at the bedside using the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale and ventilator synchrony. The evaluation was performed according to the static evaluation plan with respect to age, storage therapy and organ failure.
This study will establish a sedative and hypnotics iatrogenic addiction risk monitoring network composed of 4 psychiatric hospitals in Shanghai through standardized data construction of outpatient prescription data and personnel training. Develop a sedative-hypnotic addiction risk prediction tool based on patient prescription data, and use independent in-operation outpatient prescription data for verification, and carry out clinical application promotion.
Anesthesia is a drug induced, reversible, comatose state that facilitates surgery and it is widely assumed that cognition returns to baseline after anesthetics have been eliminated. However, many patients have persistent memory impairment for weeks to months after surgery. Cardiac surgery appears to carry the highest risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). These cognitive deficits are associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stay and loss of independence. The investigators propose to investigate the role of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) in preventing long-term POCD after cardiac surgery and enhancing early postoperative recovery. It is anticipated that DEX will be the first effective preventative therapy for POCD, improve patient outcomes, and reduce length of stay and healthcare costs.
Dexmedetomidine（DEX）is a potent and highly selective α 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It has the pharmacological effects of sedation, hypnosis, analgesia, anti-sympathetic and neuroprotective. Its sedative effect is similar to normal sleep, and easy to wake up. DEX is widely used clinically because of its advantages and acceptable side effects. The best clinical use of DEX is uncertain, including intravenous, intramuscular, oral, intralnasal and sublingual administration. Its clinical recommended use is intravenous load infusion for more than 10 minutes, followed by continuous infusion. However, the clinical recommended usage is inconvenient, time-consuming and other shortcomings, for the growing popularity of daytime surgery, will inevitably affect the operation process and turnover. If a suitable dose range of DEX can be found for a single intravenous injection to achieve clinical efficacy quickly without significant hemodynamic effects, this will improve the patient's postoperative recovery. We will speed up the utilization and turnover of medical resources. The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal dosage of DEX for single intravenous injection.
Admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is one of the major causes of stress and both physical and emotional difficulties for critically ill patients, both because of the illness that caused the admission and of the ICU nevironment itself. Despite the use of protocols and tools to evaluate sedation, many patients continue to have high levels of anxiety. An inadequate treatment of this condition is associated with increased sympathetic activity which causes dyspnea and an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. Sedative drugs, on the other side, may have significant side effects. In view of this, there is clear need to find new strategies and instruments allowing for the maximization of critical patients' comfort, by promoting pain, anxiety, stress and agitation relief and minimising the need of sedative therapy. The main hypothesis of this study is that the use of music therapy for critically ill patients can lead to a significant increase of the days free from neuroactive therapy (analgesics, sedatives, antianxiety meds, antipsychotics) in the first 28 days following Intensive Care Unit admission. To this purpose, data obtained from 3 groups of patients will be compared - a group with individual treatment administered by a music therapist and delivered by headphones, a group with a generalised treatment, through the creation of a weekly musical program continuously broadcasted in the hospital room, and a control group.
