Safety and Efficacy of Fospropofol vs Propofol During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Anesthesiology Intensive Care Unit: A Preliminary Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of fospropofol and propofol during sedation in invasively mechanically ventilated patients in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit (AICU). Specific objectives include the following:

  • Evaluate the sedative effects of fospropofol and propofol in invasively mechanically ventilated patients. Compare the sedative effects of the two medications using relevant clinical indicators and scoring tools, such as the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS).
  • Compare the safety of fospropofol and propofol during sedation. Monitor medication-related adverse reactions, such as respiratory depression, hypotension, arrhythmias, headache, injection site pain, and assess the differences in adverse reaction incidence between the two medications.
  • Compare the characteristics of recovery from sedation between PPD and propofol. Focus on the time from sedation to emergence from sedation and compare the differences in recovery time between the two medications.

Participants will be sedated with fospropofol or propofol during invasive mechanical ventilation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The patient's Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score and the incidence of adverse reactions
Time Frame: Admission to the intensive care unit to 2 hours after weaning off the ventilator.
The participant's RASS score was assessed by the caregiver and the occurrence of adverse reactions was recorded. Adverse effects include hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, agitation, pain at the injection site, nausea and vomiting, edema, fever, anemia, paresthesias, headache, and hypoxemia.
Admission to the intensive care unit to 2 hours after weaning off the ventilator.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of adverse reactions during the follow-up period
Time Frame: 2 hours after weaning off the ventilator to 24 hours after leaving the intensive care unit.
Adverse effects include hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, agitation, pain at the injection site, nausea and vomiting, edema, fever, anemia, paresthesias, headache, and hypoxemia.
2 hours after weaning off the ventilator to 24 hours after leaving the intensive care unit.
Extubation time
Time Frame: From admission to the intensive care unit to removal of the endotracheal tube
The time from admission to the intensive care unit to removal of the endotracheal tube
From admission to the intensive care unit to removal of the endotracheal tube
