Trial summary

The use of procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to accomplish painful procedures in the emergency department (ED) has become a standard of practice over the last decade. Substantial variance exists regarding usage of medication for PSA, and many anesthetic agents have been proposed for this use. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Procedural Sedation for Painful Orthopedic Manipulations With Propofol vs. Midazolam/Ketamine in the Adult Emergency Department

The use of procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to accomplish painful procedures in the emergency department (ED) has become a standard of practice over the last decade. Substantial variance exists regarding usage of medication for PSA, and many anesthetic agents have been proposed for this use.

To our knowledge no head to head study compared the clinical effectiveness, safety profile and amnestic properties of midazolam/ketamine vs. propofol regimens for PSA in the adult ED setting.

This prospective randomized trail can will help to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of Midazolam/katamine regimen for ED PSA in adults and will contribute to the discussion regarding propofol roll in the ED.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ketamine/MidazolamDrug

    Intravenous bolus of midazolam 0.1mg/kg in titrated dose of 1 mg/min until spontaneous eye closure or up to 5mg (whichever comes first) followed by ketamine 0.5-1mg/kg (up to 100mg) in titrated dose of 10mg/30 seconds, to achieve the desired level of sedation

  • PropofolDrug

    Intravenous bolus of propofol 0.5-1mg/kg in titrated dose of 10mg/30seconds (up to 100mg) to achieve the desired level of sedation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The effectiveness and safety profile of procedural sedation using propofol versus midazolam/ketamine.

    Measured: outcome measures will be monitored continuously and will be documented every few minutes from initiating sedation until the patient returns to his/her basic mental status

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The amnestic properties of procedural sedation with propofol versus midazolam/ketamine.

    Measured: Recall issues will be assessed after the patient returns to his/her basic mental status and within 72 hours from the procedure (either on a follow up visit or by a phone call)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ketamine/Midazolam and Propofol in people with Procedural Sedation, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The effectiveness and safety profile of procedural sedation using propofol versus midazolam/ketamine. (time frame: outcome measures will be monitored continuously and will be documented every few minutes from initiating sedation until the patient returns to his/her basic mental status). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2010.
