NCT ID NCT05534243
First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times
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 and aware while paralyzed on a breathing machine in the emergency room. About 3,090 adults on ventilators will take part across five hospitals. The goal is to reduce the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) linked to this terrifying experience.
