Sedative Overdose clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT03840577 Active, not recruiting - Delirium Clinical Trials

BIS-Guided Sedation in Critically Ill Patients Under Deep Sedation

Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of sedation guided by the bispectral index (BIS) in reducing the incidence of delirium and the doses of sedative drugs used in critical patients who require deep sedation. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does sedation guided by BIS lead to higher delirium and coma-free days compared to clinical monitoring? - Does sedation guided by BIS result in reduced doses of sedative drugs compared to clinical monitoring? Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Clinical Monitoring Group: Participants in this group will receive sedation based on clinical scales. These participants will also be fitted with a BIS sensor, but the sensor will be covered. Sedation Guided by BIS Group: Participants in this group will receive sedation guided by the bispectral index. The study will be conducted as a prospective, controlled, blind intervention trial with random distribution and intention to treat. The primary outcomes to be evaluated include: - Delirium and coma-free days after the end of deep sedation using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) scale. - Total dose of sedative drugs administered. - BIS values Researchers will compare the two groups to determine if sedation guided by BIS is associated with a higher number of delirium and coma-free days, reduced sedative drug doses, and higher values of BIS compared to clinical monitoring.
