Trial summary

Use of sedatives and analgesics is common in mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). That is called " sedation " and aimed to reduce both pain and anxiety and also to allow an effective and atraumatic mechanical ventilation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: S.O.S. Ventilation - Sedation Optimisation Strategy For Mechanical Ventilation In Intensive Care Unit Patients

Use of sedatives and analgesics is common in mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). That is called " sedation " and aimed to reduce both pain and anxiety and also to allow an effective and atraumatic mechanical ventilation. However, sedation excess and ventilator support excess, both in duration and intensity, are associated with an excess morbidity. Patients usually are systematically sedated after having been intubated. Then, sedation is stopped first before ventilator support is weaning. Several studies shown that rationalized protocols of sedation and ventilation orderings had a beneficial impact on non surgical patients' outcome. Feasibility of these protocols in surgical patients is still unknown. Moreover, no study has evaluated an optimized paired strategy of sedation-ventilation based on the priority setting of ventilation. This priority setting of ventilation should increase patient's comfort in spite of increasing sedatives and analgesics dosing. An paired sedation-ventilation protocol optimized for both duration and intensity of these treatments could improve surgical patients' outcome in ICU.

Read the detailed description

Intervention group:

  • Continuous use of sedatives and analgesics (commonly called "sedation") will be stopped upon enrolment.
  • Ventilator asynchrony in Volume assist Controlled Ventilation (VCV) will be treated by switching to Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) or adjusting setting of VCV.
  • Pain, anxiety and agitation will be treated by priority setting of the mechanical ventilator aimed to deliver the most comfortable ventilator support and secondly by adding analgesics and/or psychoactive drugs without inducing a coma state.- Persistent ventilator asynchrony or persistent agitation will be treated by 6-hours continuous sedation periods.
  • Extubation will be performed according to criteria defined by the national consensus on mechanical ventilation weaning, which are based on a daily spontaneous breathing trial in the absence of any sedation.

Control group (standard practices):

  • Continuous use of sedatives and analgesics (commonly called "sedation") will be daily stopped according to criteria defined by the national consensus on sedation for ICU patients.- During the period before the interruption of sedation, ventilator asynchrony in VCV will be treated by increasing the depth of sedation and then the dose of opioids.
  • During the period before the interruption of sedation, pain, anxiety and agitation will be treated by a priority adjustment of sedation according to the nurse driven protocol recommended by the national consensus on sedation for ICU patients.- During the period after the interruption of sedation, ventilator asynchrony will be treated by switching to the PSV mode. In case of return to VCV, asynchrony will be treated by restart of sedation.
  • During the period after the interruption of sedation, pain, anxiety and agitation will be treated as for the intervention group.
  • Extubation will be performed according to criteria defined by the national consensus on mechanical ventilation weaning, which are based on a daily spontaneous breathing trial in the absence of any sedation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Therapy strategy in people with Surgery and Critical Illness, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 3 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to successful intubation (time frame: for 48 hours after intubation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01486121, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Dec 2015.
