Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LUSEDRA (fospropofol disodium) and to determine whether a dose lower than currently approved can provide effective moderate sedation required to complete diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Dexmedetomidine will be tested against midazolam in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study of intensive care children, age 2-17 years. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that time from end of medication to extubation will be shorter with dexmedetomidine sedation.
Phase I, Single Centre, Open Label Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability,Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous AZD3043 after aSingle Ascending Bolus Dose Followed by a Single Infusion Dose in Elderly(=65 years) Healthy Volunteers
Propofol is a drug of choice for deep sedation in endoscopy. Propofol can be administered in many ways: by infusion or intravenous boluses and with self-administration device (patient-controlled sedation; PCS). It is not clear which method of propofol administration would be preferable. The main objective of the trial is to compare 2 different methods of propofol administration during ERCP: patient-controlled administration(PCS) and target-controlled infusion (TCI).
The Flexible Bronchoscopy (FB) is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure which is not usually tolerated by the patient. This makes the examination more difficult and a repetition of the examination, if necessary, resulting in a lower diagnostic performance. Furthermore, there is nowadays little information with a highly obvious level about the relationship between sedation and the patient´s satisfaction with the FB. Midazolam is one of the most commonly used sedatives at the beginning for its rapid onset property and brief duration of action with sedatives, anxiolytics and amnesia properties. The principal aim of our study is to analyse if the use of a local anaesthetic with midazolam whilst performing an FB improves the quality of examination in terms of tolerance for the patient. It would also be of interest to know if there is an improvement in the acceptance of a second or further FB and if this improves the satisfaction of the Bronchoscopist as far as the examination performed is concerned.
The aim of the study is to investigate the use of a new FDA-approved non-invasive bio-impedance cardiac monitor, ICON, to detect hemodynamic effects during sedation in children undergoing radiology procedures. The purpose of the study is to determine the ability of the ICON monitor to identify the anticipated and documented hemodynamic changes in children which occur in response to Dexmedetomidine sedation. The investigators postulate that if the ICON device can trend hemodynamic changes, if any, during dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation in children the investigators can delineate changes in cardiac output, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance associated with observed changes in heart rate and blood pressure.
This study is a clinical trial of moderate sedation with propofol versus moderate sedation with ketamine for procedural sedation in the Emergency Department.
This is a clinical trial of propofol, alfentanil, and nitrous oxide as agents for moderated procedural sedation in patients undergoing sedation in the emergency department (ED).
This is a randomized clinical trial of deep procedural sedation with propofol with and without supplemental alfentanil. Patients will be assessed for total and fractionated serum catecholamines before and after the procedure in addition to usual procedural sedation outcomes parameters to assess the adrenergic effect of propofol sedation without supplemental opioid.
The purpose of this study is to learn if breathing nitrous oxide (also known as "laughing gas") changes the pressure in a person's eyes. Some patients who need regular eye exams to measure their eye pressure often need to be put to sleep with medicine in order to complete the eye exam. Some of these medicines are known to cause changes in a person's eye pressure. Because of this, such medicines are avoided if the eye doctor needs to measure the patient's eye pressure. One medicine that is frequently used to put patients to sleep is nitrous oxide. No one really knows what effect nitrous oxide might have on a persons' eye pressure. The investigators are interested to see if nitrous oxide causes an increase, decrease, or no change in eye pressure. The investigators also want to investigate if there is a difference in the effects of nitrous oxide on eye pressure between males and females. Understanding these effects of nitrous oxide is important because during such eye exams, the eye doctor uses the pressure measurements to make important decisions about treatment and surgery options for the patient. The investigators hypothesize that the use of inhaled nitrous oxide (N2O) will result in a decrease in IOP in healthy volunteers. The investigators aim to determine the magnitude and duration of change, if any, in IOP caused by inhalation of N2O, and to assess if the gender of the patient has a role in this effect.
