Ketamine-Propofol vs Dexmedetomidine-Propofol Sedation for Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization
This study tests two sedative combinations to see which is safer and more effective for children 2–12 undergoing device closure of simple left-to-right heart shunts.
-
Impact of Anesthesia on Inflammation and NETosis During HCC Ablation
This study tests whether a propofol–fentanyl anesthesia plan with lidocaine during radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma affects inflammation and NETosis in patients with small tumors.
-
IR-led deep ketamine sedation for select image-guided procedures
We will try deep ketamine sedation instead of general anesthesia for adults having certain image-guided interventional radiology procedures.
-
Cannabis use and IV sedation during wisdom tooth removal
This project will see if people who use cannabis need different IV sedative doses or have different vital signs and breathing during wisdom tooth removal compared with people who don't use cannabis.
-
Brain‑wave and pain‑signal monitoring during anesthesia for ERCP to map opioid and sedative effects
This trial will test whether continuous brain‑wave (EEG/PSI) and heart‑rate variability (ANI) monitoring during targeted infusions of opioids and sedatives can show how those drugs interact in people having ERCP under general anesthesia.
-
How common pain is in adults on mechanical ventilators in intensive care units
The researchers will measure how often adults on invasive mechanical ventilation in ICUs experience pain and which clinical factors are linked to it.
-
No continuous sedation versus daily sedation interruption for ventilated COPD patients
This compares no continuous sedation to daily sedation breaks to see which approach gives more ventilator-free days for adults with COPD on a breathing machine.
-
Co-designed pain and sedation protocol for adults on ECMO
This project will test a co-designed pain and sedation plan to see if it's acceptable for adults receiving ECMO and similar ventilated ICU patients.
-
Improving pain control for children on breathing machines
This trial tests whether giving IV acetaminophen and/or IV ketorolac can reduce pain and the need for opioids in children aged 2 months to 17½ years who are on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure.
-
Comparing Remimazolam and Midazolam for Sedation in Critically Ill Patients on Ventilators
This study is testing if a new sedative called remimazolam can help critically ill patients on ventilators spend less time on the machine compared to the standard sedative midazolam.
NIH-funded research (1)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Improving sedation and pain management for critically ill children
This study is looking at how to give the right amount of medicine to help kids feel less pain and anxiety during tough medical procedures, so they can recover better and stay safe while getting the care they need.
