SEDATION

This study tests whether using a brain monitor (BIS) helps patients on breathing machines wake up faster and use less sedation medicine. Researchers will compare 30 ICU patients who get the brain monitor to those who don't. The goal is to see if this monitoring shortens time on t…

This study compares two sedation drugs used during sleep apnea diagnostic procedures. Researchers will test which medication provides more stable sedation, fewer side effects, and faster recovery for patients. The study also aims to use artificial intelligence to better identify …

This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a sedative nasal spray given to patients before they receive anesthesia for surgery. Researchers want to see if the spray helps patients relax without causing serious breathing or heart problems. They will compare the spray to…

This study is testing whether a new, structured care plan can improve the final days for patients in intensive care who are on life support and for whom a decision has been made to stop that support. It will compare the new plan, which includes special training for staff on manag…

This study aims to find which of two nasal spray medications works better to safely calm and sedate young children (ages 2-6) before they go into surgery. Researchers will compare dexmedetomidine and ketamine, given as a spray 30 minutes before anesthesia, in 60 children. They wi…

This study tests whether giving a drug called flumazenil to reverse sedation after hip replacement surgery can help prevent confusion and thinking problems that sometimes occur after surgery. Researchers will compare flumazenil to a placebo in 150 patients to see if it improves c…

This study aims to compare two different sedation methods used to keep patients comfortable and still during medical procedures. It will involve 128 patients aged 2 to 60 years old at hospitals in Oman. Researchers will measure how quickly the sedation works, how deeply it sedate…

This study is testing a new combination of sedative and pain-relief drugs for older adults undergoing a common bile duct procedure called ERCP. The goal is to see if this new mix provides good pain control while causing fewer breathing problems and faster recovery than the curren…

This study tests whether showing children a virtual reality (VR) tour of an MRI machine before their scan can help them feel less anxious and stay still. Researchers will compare three groups: kids who watch the VR tour at home and again at the hospital, kids who watch it only at…

This study aims to better understand how the brain responds to anesthesia and sedation by observing brain wave patterns. It will enroll 330 participants, including children, elderly adults, and people undergoing sedation for procedures. Researchers will use standard brain monitor…
