About this study

Official title: Use of Bispectral Index Monitoring as an Alert to Detect Deep Sedation in Mechanical Ventilated Patients: a Prospective Observational Study

Studies have shown that prolonged deep sedation is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The revised guidelines for management of pain, agitation and delirium by the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 2013 also recommended that adult ICU patients should be maintained at a light level of sedation. The key point in light sedation strategy is the assessment of depth of sedation. At present, sedation is monitored mainly by the subjective clinical score systems, such as the Ramsay Scale, the Riker's Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS) and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). However, the subjective and intermittent nature of these scales instruments has limited their application in light sedation algorithm. Consequently, objective and continuous measurement of the level of sedation would be more desirable in clinical practice. In recent years, objective measures of brain function have been of great interests in the evaluation of sedation level, and bispectral index (BIS) has been the most investigated instrument.

Several studies compared BIS with subjective sedation scales in adult ICU patients, and yielded conflicting results. The different approaches to select BIS value may be the most important reason for these inconsistent agreements between BIS and subjective sedation scales. A formal scheme of subjective assessment of the depth of sedation and level of consciousness should incorporate exerting verbal and physical stimuli and observation of the patient's subsequent responses. Our primary aim is to clarify the diagnostic accuracy of BIS in detecting early deep sedation against the reference standard of subjective scale instrument. We hypothesize that BIS monitoring will provide accurate, subjective and continuous evaluation of deepen sedation.

Light sedationLight sedation is defined as RASS of +1 to -2.
Deep sedationDeep sedation is defined as RASS of -3 to -5

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary aim of present study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of BIS monitoring for detecting deep sedation against the reference standard of RASS.

    According to RASS evaluation, observations in each time point will be stratified into 2 situations: light sedation (RASS= 0 to -2) and deep sedation (RASS= -3 to -5). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis will be applied to determine the probability of BIS values in predicting deep sedation.

    Measured: 15 minutes before and after RASS evaluation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of deep sedation

    Measured: 24 hours after establishing of BIS monitoring

  2. Occurrence of deep sedation during day- and night-time

    Day-time is defined as 8AM to 8PM, and night-time as 8PM to 8AM.

    Measured: 24 hours after establishing of BIS monitoring

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disorder; Mental, Sedative and Depressed Level of Consciousness, run by Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 30 Dec 2014. 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 China. 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.

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 primary aim of present study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of BIS monitoring for detecting deep sedation against the reference standard of RASS. (time frame: 15 minutes before and after RASS evaluation). 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 30 Dec 2014.
