The 90% Effective Dose of Nalbuphine in Mechanical Ventilated Patients in the ICU
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effective nalbuphine dose in 90% of intubated patients in the ICU, including the continuous infusion dose and a bolus dose during moving to the lateral decubitus position. Pain will assessed using a Behavioural Pain Scale (BPS) requiring a score of 3-4.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The continuous nalbuphine infusion dose starts at 100ug/kg/h, if the BPS scores reaches 3-4, the continuous infusion dose would be decreased by 20 ug/kg/h for next patients. If not, increased by 20 ug/kg/h.
The nalbuphine bolus is injected 5 min before turning the patients and the dose (starting at 0) is increased by 0.05 mg/kg, prior to each subsequent turn to lateral decubitus until a BPS score of 3-4 is obtained.
