Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Therapy
To assess the efficacy of inhaled sevoflurane, compared to current intravenous sedation practice, for improving PaO2/FiO2 in ICU patients at high risk for ARDS.
Secondary objectives 13
- Progression to ARDS, as defined by the Berlin criteria
- Safety (clinical adverse events) of the two sedation strategies
- Effects on the rate of pneumonia
- Effects on respiratory mechanics
- Effects on gas exchange and physiologic measures
- Effects on ICU-acquired delirium
- Effects on hemodynamic measures and renal function (KDIGO criteria for acute kidney injury)
- Effects on organ dysfunction
- Effects on the duration of mechanical ventilation
- Effects on 28-day mortality
- Effects on the number of days off the ventilator at 28 days, taking into account death as a competing event
- Biological collection of plasma samples for future mechanistic and endotyping studies of the biological effects of sevoflurane
- Presence of subphenotypes among patients at risk of developing ARDS
Conditions and MedDRA coding
Patients in ICU with risks of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Study design 1 period
| # | Title | Allocation | Blinding | Roles blinded | Arms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sedation patients will receive the allocated sedation strategy from randomization until sedation can be definitely interrupted or until day 5, whichever occurs first
|
Randomised Controlled | None | Inhaled sedation with sevoflurane: treatment for sedation is sevoflurane Intravenous sedation: We will not mandate the sedative type, but rather encourage the use of sedatives that are already routinely used in participating ICUs (typically a benzodiazepine propofol, or dexmedetomidine, i.e. drugs approved for sedation) |
Eligibility criteria
