About this study

Official title: Clinical and Economical Impact of an Analgesia-Based, Goal-Directed, Nurse-Driven Sedation Protocol on Patients on Mechanical Ventilation. A Multicenter Study

Hypothesis: A protocolized algorithm for sedation in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation can decrease ventilator days, costs and improve outcome.

This is a multicenter observational-interventional study on critically ill patients who require mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, involving 13 ICU in Chile. There are two periods (groups): a descriptive phase of sedation practices, and an interventional period in which an analgesia-based, goal-directed, nurse-driven sedation is applied.

Main outcome: ventilator-free days between both periods.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter observational-interventional study on critically ill patients who require mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, involving 13 ICU in Chile.

Main exclusion criteria are neurologic impairment, previous chronic cardiac, liver and renal failure, second period of mechanical ventilation during hospitalization, short term expected mortality.

There is an initial descriptive phase of sedation practice, involving sedative drugs, sedation level assessment, and outcome: ventilator-free days, ICU stay, costs and mortality.

After a period of analysis and training, an analgesia-based, goal-directed, nurse-driven sedation protocol is applied. Fentanyl infusion is started and titrated to obtain a patient calm and cooperative or mildly sedated while on mechanical ventilation. Hypnotics and opiates i.v. boluses are allowed during the first hours of mechanical ventilation. Midazolam infusion is started if ventilatory distress continue despite fentanyl 1.8 µg/kg/min. Haldol, muscle relaxants and other sedative drugs are allowed depending on patient condition. After 48 hours of mechanical ventilation, sedative drugs are discontinued in the morning.

Main outcome: ventilator-free days. Secondary outcome: ICU stay, costs, and sedation quality. At 6 moths SF-36. Each period is planned to included at least 140 patients, for a 20% difference in ventilator-free days, with 80% power and a 0.05 type I error.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Analgesia based sedation in ICU patients in people with Ventilation, Mechanical and Respiratory Insufficiency, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile at 14 sites in Chile.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Chile. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guillermo Bugedo, MD (562 3543972, bugedo@med.puc.cl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ventilator-free days. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2006.
