About this study

Official title: Bispectral Index Monitoring To Guide Sedation In Patients With Non-Neurological Pathology Over 65 Years, Admitted To Intensive Care Unit: Randomized Control Trial

A randomized, control trial to compare the total dose of sedatives use in patients over 65 years admitted to the intensive care unit, guiding sedation by monitoring with BIS® versus monitoring with the exclusive use of sedation scales.

The study will include all patients over 65 years who enter the intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Bellvitge affected with medical or surgical pathology of non neurological etiology who require sedation for more than 24 hours to maintain adaptation to mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) usually require use of hypnotics and sedatives to ensure comfort and proper adaptation to mechanical ventilation. An important requirement for an adequate sedation is frequent and proper assessment of its depth. Inadequate sedation can lead to problems of over-sedation, under-sedation and/or delirium in ICU, especially in elderly patients. The main objective od the study is To compare the total dose of sedative use and the rate of over-sedation in patients over 65 years admitted to the ICU, adjusting sedation by monitoring with BIS® versus monitoring with the exclusive use of sedation scales. METHODS. A randomized, clinical trial including patients over 65 years who were admitted to the ICU affected with medical or surgical pathology of non neurological etiology who required sedation for more than 24 hours to maintain adaptation to mechanical ventilation. Patients were randomized into two groups: the intervention group using BIS monitoring to adjust sedation in order to maintain values between 50-60 and; the control group in which sedation was adjusted with the exclusive use of Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) to maintain RASS -2. The study was approved by the institution's Research Ethics Committee.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BIS™ Brain Monitoring System and RASS in people with Deep Sedation, run by Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 21 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Total Dose of sedation (time frame: Two years). 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 NCT02909010, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 21 Sep 2016.
