ER trial aims to stop the horror of being awake but paralyzed

NCT ID NCT05534243

Summary

This study aims to prevent a terrifying experience called 'awareness with paralysis,' where emergency room patients on breathing machines are awake but can't move. It will test if making a shorter-acting paralytic drug the standard choice reduces this risk and lowers rates of PTSD and anxiety later. Over 3,000 patients at five hospitals will be part of this large, real-world trial.
