Overview

The objective of the study is to determine the impact on the frequency of occurrence of delirium of an early inhaled sedation strategy (from induction in rapid sequence if intubation in intensive care, or from admission if intubated in pre -hospital) by Isoflurane using an ANACONDA ™ type system, compared to a conventional intravenous sedation strategy.

Description

Sedation-analgesia is used in most patients treated with mechanical ventilation (MV). The usual benzodiazepine and morphine sedation reduces pain and anxiety and allows tolerance of invasive procedures in intensive care. These molecules, used as part of the sedation titration protocol or the daily sedation stop protocol, have improved patient outcomes.

Although necessary, these drugs, by mechanisms still uncertain, would promote the occurrence of resuscitation delirium. Delirium itself responsible for worsening morbidity and mortality (increase in the duration of MV, increase in the length of hospital stay, discussed increase in mortality, long-term cognitive sequelae).

This finding favored the use of new drugs in the sedation strategies of patients on MV. Dexmedetomidine has for example reduced the number of days of delirium, the number of days of coma and even mortality in septic patients. Its large-scale use has however been questioned by a recent study.

Halogenated gases have been used for a long time in anesthesia. Their pharmacodynamics, their positive and adverse effects, their therapeutic margins are well known. Thanks to technical innovations they can be used on resuscitation respirators. Several studies on targeted populations have shown the feasibility and the benefits of this use, in particular, the absence of accumulation, the absence of tachyphylaxis, the broad therapeutic range, the small interindividual variation, the rapidity of efficacy and the speed of awakening. Safety in use for the staff in charge of the patient is established. In addition, their potential neuroprotective effect would make it an anesthetic of choice in the prevention of resuscitation delirium.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient aged 18 and over

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
