Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the sedation for Remimazolam or Propofol in patients undergoing diagnostic upper GI endoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction after eye surgery when given a capsule compared to an intravenous (IV) dose of sedation (calming medication). Each subject will be given a capsule and an IV in the hospital before their procedure starts, however they will not know which one is the sedation route. Each subject will have their planned surgical procedure as previously discussed with their doctor. After the procedure is completed, the doctors will complete satisfaction surveys. The subject will also complete a satisfaction survey during their regularly scheduled visit the day after surgery. Once the subject completes this survey, their study participation will be complete. The hypothesis is that there will be no difference in patient satisfaction when given a capsule in comparison to IV sedation. If the results of the study support this hypothesis, a capsule could be used in place of IV sedation. By using a capsule for ocular procedures, both patients and the medical practice would benefit: patient would be able to eat before their procedure, patient costs would be decreased, hospital costs would be reduced, and some of these procedures would be given the option to move to a procedure room (freeing up operating room time for other departments).
Specific Aim 1: To describe the adequacy of sedation associated with different regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens are effective for producing sedation adequate for completion of non-painful procedures in children. Specific Aim 2: To describe the temporal characteristics associated with varied regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures, such as time to onset of adequate sedation; time to procedure start; and time from procedure end to meeting discharge criteria. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens have temporal characteristics that are favourable for sedating children for non-painful procedures. Specific Aim 3: To describe the adverse events associated with varied regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens have a low incidence of adverse events.
Delirium is one of main adverse events in ventilated patients who receive long-term usage of mono-sedative. Sequential sedation may reduce these adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate incidence and risk factors for delirium in sequential sedation patients.
To evaluate the impacts of target-control infusion (TCI) and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring during advanced endoscopic procedure.
Oral trans-mucosal administration is relatively easy and convenient, it also reduces first pass metabolism and has been used successfully for fentanyl, ketamine, and midazolam premedication.
During spinal anesthesia, sedation is performed using intravenous sedative for the patient's comfort and appropriate surgical environment. However, side effects of medications such as respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia and desaturation cannot be avoided. Recently, there have been developed a virtual reality experience equipment and a variety of virtual reality programs including visuo-haptic computer technology. There have been clinical studies that apply this technology to the pain medicine, sedation and medical education. However, no study has been reported for the purpose of replacing sedation during spinal anesthesia. Therefore, we attempt to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sedation using virtual reality meditation program during spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine on resting energy expenditure in relation to the midazolam in critically ill patients using indirect calorimetry
The purpose of this study is to find out the optimal dose for Remimazolam Tosilate as a procedural sedative during a diagnostic upper GI endoscopy and to assess its efficacy and safety profile comparing to propofol.
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-agonist with hypnotic, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties. Despite off-label administration, dexmedetomidine has found a niche in critically ill mechanically ventilated neonates and infants because of its minimal effects on respiratory function at sedative doses, facilitating early extubation and fast-track postoperative care.
