Which sedative is safer for ICU intubation? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT06750939
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes 128 critically ill ICU patients to see how two common sedatives—propofol and ketamine—affect the risk of severe drops in blood pressure or cardiac arrest during emergency intubation. Propofol can lower blood pressure, while ketamine may help maintain stability. The goal is to provide clearer guidance for doctors choosing induction agents in high-risk situations.
