Inhaled sedation with sevoflurane intravenous sedation with propofolStudy Participants
700This study evaluates whether a sedation with inhaled sevoflurane will decrease mortality and increase time off the ventilator at 28 days in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Half of the patients will receive inhaled sedation with sevoflurane and the other half will receive intravenous sedation with propofol.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
To assess the efficacy of a sedation with inhaled sevoflurane in improving in reducing mortality and morbidity in patients with moderate-severe ARDS in comparison to a control group receiving intravenous sedation with propofol.
PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS:
Inhaled sedation with sevoflurane will improve a composite outcome of mortality and time off the ventilator at 28 days, in patients with moderate-severe ARDS.
The trial will accrue a maximum of 700 patients. Patients will be recruited from participating intensive care units and randomized to the active (inhaled sevoflurane) or control (intravenous propofol).
The overall strategy is to screen and enroll early, every newly intubated, acutely ill or postoperative, patient at each site, using clinically obtained pulse oximetry and blood gases.
By providing superior awakening and extubation times, as well as lung-protective effects from anti-inflammatory and protective effects from epithelial injury, inhaled sevoflurane may hasten recovery from lung injury and improve outcomes.
