Study aim
-
Determining the comparison of sedative effect of lorazepam with midazolam in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with parallel, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 110 patients. Excel software rand function is used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
During the study, intubated patients will be randomly divided into two groups using M midazolam and L lorazepam using computer and will receive one of the two drugs intravenous midazolam or intravenous lorazepam. During the study, demographic information (age and sex, BMI, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation)), level of consciousness (GCS), Richmond standard score and Ramsay scale score of patients in terms of relaxation level and other items Variables will be recorded in a checklist prepared by the researcher. Side effects of the two drugs are rare, the most serious side effect of these drugs is respiratory arrest, in which case the antidote of these drugs (flumazenil) will be used for injection. The patient and the intern do not know the type of drug received for sedation. In this study, no cost will be borne by the patient.
