First seen Mar 02, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at whether using an inhaled sedative (isoflurane) helps patients with septic shock wake up and come off a breathing machine faster compared to standard IV sedation (midazolam). The trial was planned for adults in the ICU who needed sedation for 3 to 28 days. However, the study was stopped early after enrolling only one person, so no reliable conclusions can be drawn.
