Pharmaco-Economic Study Of Ultiva In Intensive Care Unit(ICU)Subjects

October 15, 2008 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A Centre-Randomized, Open-Label, Cross-Over Study to Compare the Pharmaco-Economic Consequences of an Ultiva (Remifentanil Hydrochloride) Based Regimen With Conventional Sedative Based Regimens in ICU Subjects Requiring Short-Term Mechanical Ventilation With Analgesia and Sedation

The study will evaluate the pharmaco-economic consequences of the use of a remifentanil based regimen compared with a conventional sedative based regimen in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in ICU, difference in extubation time and use of concomitant sedative agents.
