Precedex Versus Propofol-Awakening for Reducing Brain Injury Expansion — PrePARE  

Brain Injury Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase IV Single Center Cross Over Clinical Study Comparing Two Different Sedations Strategies for Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Neurological Critical Illness

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate brain injury when two different drugs (propofol and precedex) are used to sedate patients who need a neurologic exam.

Clinical Trial Description

The hypothesis is that a neurologic exam performed when the subject has continuous infusion of precedex will result in less brain injury (where the lactate/pyruvate ratio indicates injury) then when a neurologic exam is performed on subjects receiving propofol, because that exam requires that the propofol infusion be stopped. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment
