Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Jean-Michel CONSTANTIN, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of ketamine associated to an opioid for sedation of mechanically ventilated critically ill patients versus placebo. Sedation will be drive by nurses according to an algorithm. The investigators will evaluate the quantity of opioates used in each arm and the safety of ketamine.
