About this study

Official title: A Survey on the Practice of Sedation and Analgesia Among Patients With Severe Brain Injury in China: a Prospective Observational Study

Sedation and analgesia is necessary management for patients in the intensive care units. The high-level studies of sedation and analgesia in China are still deficient, especially in patients with brain injuries who even have been excluded from the relevant studies.

Read the detailed description

Sedation and analgesia is necessary management for patients in the intensive care units. The high-level studies of sedation and analgesia in China are still deficient, especially in patients with brain injuries who even have been excluded from the relevant studies. In the present study, a multicenter, 1-day point cross-sectional study about the sedation and analgesia among patients in China, particularly brain-injured will be investigated. The objectives are to investigate sedation and analgesia among patients in China and to compare sedation and analgesia between brain injuries and other patients.

Being tested
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)Diagnostic test

    Also called The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), The self-reported pain assessment

    Use the common GCS, RASS and self-reported pain assessment for evaluating consciousness, agitation/sedation and analgesia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Performance of sedation assessment

    The percentage of patients receiving sedation assessment

    Measured: The previous 24 hours prior to the on-site investigation

  2. Performance of pain assessment

    The percentage of patients receiving pain assessment

    Measured: The previous 24 hours prior to the on-site investigation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Use of sedatives

    The percentage of patients receiving sedatives

    Measured: The previous 24 hours prior to the on-site investigation

  2. Use of analgesics

    The percentage of patients receiving analgesics

    Measured: The previous 24 hours prior to the on-site investigation

  3. ICU mortality

    The percentage of patients dead in the ICU

    Measured: Within 60 days after on-site investigation

  4. Hospital mortality

    The percentage of patients dead in the hospital

    Measured: Within 60 days after on-site investigation
