NCT ID: NCT03783494 Completed - Limb Fracture Clinical Trials

Target-controlled Infusion With Propofol in the Emergency Department : a Prospective Study on 45 Adult Patients

SIVOC
Start date: May 9, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Procedural sedation is an emergency medicine technique that provides a brief, deep sedation in order to perform very painful emergency emergent procedures such as displaced fracture or dislocated joints reduction. Propofol is recommended for this purpose, injected administered in slow IV bolus injections according to the technique known as manual titration. But despite this precaution, temporarily excessive sedation can happen, and a side effect can appear (arterial hypotension or respiratory depression). Target-controlled infusion (TCI) is an anesthesia technique that permits to obtain a precise constant and stable concentration of medication, boluses volumes of injection being calculated and delivered automatically by an electric syringe equipped with a software obedient to existing pharmacokinetic models. In the operating room, Ffor anesthetic induction, maintenance and awakening, respectively, in the operating room, the brain concentrations of propofol range respectively from 2 to 6 μg/mL, 2 to 4 μg/mL, and between 0.8 and 1.2 μg/mL, respectively. Since TCI has never been used in emergency departments (ED), the brain propofol concentrations which are necessary for sedation and awakening of the patient are not known and must be determined experimentally. In this single-center, prospective, interventional study, safety and feasibility of TCI will be studied in one ED with the primary objective of determining the brain propofol concentrations necessary to reach the an optimal sedation in for patients with indications of sustaining very painful orthopedic emergency emergent procedures

NCT ID: NCT02410707 Completed - Abscess Clinical Trials

Adjunctive Nitrous Oxide During Emergency Department Propofol Sedation in Adults

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of nitrous oxide administration for pain and anxiety before propofol in patients requiring any procedure under sedation in the Emergency Department. Procedural sedation is the use of sedative, analgesic, and/or dissociative agents to relieve anxiety and pain associated with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Propofol is commonly used and is a sedative and amnestic, but provides no analgesia. Short acting opioids may be used for pain relief, but come with the risk of respiratory depression. An optimum analgesic to relieve pain in patients who need procedural sedation should be short acting, easy to administer and safe. Nitrous oxide may be a suitable agent, but literature supporting or rejecting its use in adults is lacking. This study aims to fill this gap. Adult patients capable of consenting, coming to the Emergency Department with painful condition requiring procedural sedation are the targeted population. Eligible patients who consent to the study will receive Nitrous Oxide gas delivered through a hand held mask before they receive propofol for the procedure. Information regarding their vitals, pain scores and medical condition will also be collected.
