NCT ID NCT05534243

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

Summary

This study looks at whether using a short-acting paralytic drug (succinylcholine) instead of a longer-acting one (rocuronium) can prevent patients from being awake while paralyzed during emergency breathing support. About 3,090 adults on ventilators in emergency departments will take part. The goal is to reduce traumatic memories and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after their hospital stay.
