Race to protect young brains: ICU sedation trial aims to stop delirium in critically ill kids

NCT ID NCT04801589

Summary

This study aims to find out which of two common sedative drugs is better for protecting brain function in infants and children who need a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It will compare dexmedetomidine and midazolam in 372 young patients to see which one reduces delirium, shortens time on the ventilator, and leads to better long-term thinking skills and mental health recovery. The goal is to improve care for our most vulnerable young patients by choosing the medication that causes the least harm to the developing brain.
