Brief Summary:
Sedation and analgesia in patients with sepsis and hemodynamic instability may be challenging in the ICU. Opioids and propofol can further exacerbate tissue infusion in septic shock by reducing cardiac contractility, increasing vasodilation, and reducing respiratory drive. Ketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist, which has no effect on respiratory drive and has diastolic airway smooth muscle and anti-inflammatory properties. Esketamine is a dextrorotatory cleavage twice as potent and reduces the incidence of dose-dependent side effects of ketamine. Although it has been successfully used in burn patients undergoing multiple operations and anesthesia-related maintenance analgesia, it has not been reported in ICU septic shock patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of esketamine in mechanically ventilated ICU septic shock patients in a single-center randomized controlled trial.
Detailed Description:
In order to further clarify whether Esketamine can be used as a conventional continuous intravenous infusion drug in the ICU, further RCT is required. Therefore, this project assumes that low-dose Esketamine has a clear analgesic and sedative effect, and has advantages such as less adverse reactions in hemodynamics, respiratory inhibition, and gastrointestinal peristalsis. It is proposed to complete the following work: on the standard analgesia and sedation scheme (remifentanil+propofol), evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of the auxiliary analgesia scheme added with esketamine for septic shock patients with mechanical ventilation by whether to load small dose of esketamine for infusion, so as to provide basis for follow-up individualized diagnosis and treatment.
