Life-or-Death choice: which sedative is safer during emergency intubation?
NCT ID NCT05277896
Summary
This large trial aimed to find out which of two common sedative medications is safer when doctors place a breathing tube in critically ill adults. Researchers compared ketamine and etomidate in over 2,300 patients to see which drug led to fewer dangerous drops in blood pressure and lower death rates within 28 days. The goal was to provide clear evidence to help doctors choose the best sedative during this high-risk emergency procedure.
