Impact of Night-time Dexmedetomidine-esketamine Infusion on Sleep Quality of Patients With Mechanical Ventilation or High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy in ICU: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Peking University First Hospital·interventional·Posted Feb 8, 2023·Updated Dec 5, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexmedetomidine-esketamine and Routine sedation and analgesia for Intensive Care Unit and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 174 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Dexmedetomidine and ketamine are both suggested for sedation and analgesia in ICU patients. Recent studies suggest that low-dose dexmedetomidine or ketamine/esketamine may improve sleep quality of ICU patients. The purpose of this trial is to observe whether night-time infusion of low-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination can improve sleep structure of patients receiving mechanical ventilation or high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in the ICU.
