Protocol summary

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.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, patients enter the study based on the age of 18-65 and the level of consciousness and recent lack of benzodiazepines, and if the above cases are excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
Patients under mechanical ventilation admitted to the intensive care unit
Main outcome variables
Age, gender, Richmond benchmark score, cryptographic scoring system, Glasgow index, body mass index, cause of intubation, cause of hospitalization, type of drug, cost of drug used, side effects, duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality rate

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Comparison of the sedative effect of lorazepam with midazolam
Timepoint
Patients will be assessed at injection start times of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours after the start of the infusion.
Method of measurement
During current study patients' demographic information (age and sex), body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation( via pulse oximetry), level of consciousness (by Glasgow coma scale) and level of sedation ( by Richmond sedation scale and Ramsay sedation scale) will be recorded in a checklist prepared by the researcher. Also, the total amount of midazolam and lorazepam that will be used, their prices, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of hospitalization ( either in intensive care unit or ward) and the mortality rate of patients will be recorded.
