About this study

Official title: Impact of a Nurse Implemented Sedation and Analgesia Algorithm on Complications of Critical Illness and Outcome of Surgical Intensive Care Patients

To show that the nurse implementation of a sedation and analgesia algorithm is beneficial to the patient in terms of sedative drugs reduction and thus overall decrease in duration of mechanical ventilation and the morbidity and mortality which is associated with it, without altering patient comfort and tolerance of the environment. This, compared to the less frequent assessments by doctors and thus regular adjustments during the day as opposed to a fixed drug dose.

Read the detailed description

Outcome Measures : The primary objective of this non-invasive, non-interventional study is to show that the establishment of a titration algorithm for sedation and analgesia administered by nurses is more beneficial to the patient than the use of such a drug without a suitable regimen. The goal is to improve the quality of our painkillers and sedative drugs use needed in the intensive care environment in order to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with it, without altering patient comfort and tolerance to the environment. For this we propose to collect a database including patient demographic details, pharmacological information and any possible complications during the ICU stay as well as a distant assessment exploring the psychological complications (3, 6 months and 1 year). The primary endpoint will be the duration of mechanical ventilation, and secondary endpoints, the length of stay in ICU and in hospital, mortality and other complications.

Methods: The two study populations will be in two distinct time periods, the first so-called control without any modification of practices, and the second, by introducing the algorithm with the same drugs being used. Quantitative comparisons of data following a normal distribution will be done using a Student's t test. Otherwise quantitative data will be compared using a Mann-Whitney test or Wilcoxon. The comparison of qualitative data will be done using a Fisher exact test. To increase the power of this before / after study, we calculated the number of patients to be included by period, based on the reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation with such protocols in the literature, and the mean duration of mechanical ventilation in our unit before the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sedation, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 14 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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 Véronique POTTIER, MD (33231064736, pottier-v@chu-caen.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of mechanical ventilation (time frame: baseline). 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 14 Jun 2017.
