First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two computer programs (Eleveld and Schnider) that help doctors give the sedative propofol to patients on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to see which program keeps patients at the right sedation level more accurately and safely. Researchers will monitor 84 patients to measure sedation depth, vital signs, and recovery time.
