INSPiRE-ICU2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing if a new way to give anesthesia is as good as the standard way. The new way is inhaling isoflurane through a machine, and the standard way is through an IV.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 who need mechanical ventilation and sedation in the ICU for more than 12 hours can join. Excluded are those with allergies to isoflurane or propofol, certain severe neurological or muscular conditions, extreme hemodynamic instability, a history of malignant hyperthermia (MH), ventricular tachycardia/Long QT Syndrome, or on specific other treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares two sedation methods for ICU patients on ventilators: inhaling isoflurane using Sedaconda ACD-S versus receiving propofol intravenously. It aims to determine which method is safer and more effective.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Isoflurane may cause respiratory issues like coughing or wheezing, while propofol can lead to low blood pressure, pain at the injection site, and in rare cases, Propofol Infusion Syndrome with heart failure.
