Trial summary

Patients were randomized to receive either paracetamol during mechanical ventilation. When patients were randomized to receive paracetamol (40 mg/kg per day in 4 doses), a placebo infusion of normal saline was administered continuously at the same rate as an equivalent infusion.

About this study

Official title: To Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy of Standardized Use of Acetaminophen in Mechanical Ventilation in Children With New Coronary Pneumonia

Patients were randomized to receive either paracetamol during mechanical ventilation. When patients were randomized to receive paracetamol (40 mg/kg per day in 4 doses), a placebo infusion of normal saline was administered continuously at the same rate as an equivalent infusion. Placebos could not be distinguished from the active study drug in color, odor, or viscosity.

In both study groups, IMV was maintained with sufentanil (0-0.2 mcg/kg/h), propofol (0-4 mg/kg/h), and dexmedetomidine (0-1 mcg/kg/h). Assessment of sedation levels by the bedside nurse using the FLACC pain scale to determine if the child is adequately comfortable or in need of more or less medication to maintain adequate ventilation. Assessment of sedation levels by the bedside nurse using the FLACC pain scale (every 6 hours as a minimum time interval).

Being tested
Paracetamol injection

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mechanical ventilation time (time frame: an average of 5 days). 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 19 Jan 2023.
