About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Effects of Ketamine Compared With Propofol as Continuous ICU Sedation in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

this study is to assess the hemodynamic profile of ketamine compared with propofol in critically ill, mechanically ventilated adult Patients study will be carried out on 100 mechanically ventilated patients who received one sedative agent propofol or ketamine The patients will be randomized into two equal groups to receive either ketamine or propofol Group 1 (Ketamine group): ketamine is initiated at 0.5 mg/kg/h and titrated by 0.25 mg/kg/h every 15 minutes to a maximum dosage of 4 mg/kg/h to achieve appropriate sedation. Group 2 (Propofol group): Propofol is initiated at 0.3 to 0.6 mg /kg/hr. and titrated by 0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg/h every 5 to 10 minutes up to a maximum dosage of 4.5 to 4.8 mg/kg/hr. to achieve appropriate sedation.

Being tested
Ketamine, Propofol

What participants receive

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ketamine and Propofol in people with Ketamine and Propofol, run by Menoufia University at 1 site in Egypt.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2024. 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 Egypt. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

heart rate (time frame: every 15 min for the first hour then every hour for next six hours then every six hours for 48 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Feb 2024.
