Brief Summary:
The objective of the study is to determine the impact on the frequency of occurrence of delirium of an early inhaled sedation strategy (from induction in rapid sequence if intubation in intensive care, or from admission if intubated in pre -hospital) by Isoflurane using an ANACONDA ™ type system, compared to a conventional intravenous sedation strategy.
Detailed Description:
Sedation-analgesia is used in most patients treated with mechanical ventilation (MV). The usual benzodiazepine and morphine sedation reduces pain and anxiety and allows tolerance of invasive procedures in intensive care. These molecules, used as part of the sedation titration protocol or the daily sedation stop protocol, have improved patient outcomes.
Although necessary, these drugs, by mechanisms still uncertain, would promote the occurrence of resuscitation delirium. Delirium itself responsible for worsening morbidity and mortality (increase in the duration of MV, increase in the length of hospital stay, discussed increase in mortality, long-term cognitive sequelae).
This finding favored the use of new drugs in the sedation strategies of patients on MV. Dexmedetomidine has for example reduced the number of days of delirium, the number of days of coma and even mortality in septic patients. Its large-scale use has however been questioned by a recent study.
Halogenated gases have been used for a long time in anesthesia. Their pharmacodynamics, their positive and adverse effects, their therapeutic margins are well known. Thanks to technical innovations they can be used on resuscitation respirators. Several studies on targeted populations have shown the feasibility and the benefits of this use, in particular, the absence of accumulation, the absence of tachyphylaxis, the broad therapeutic range, the small interindividual variation, the rapidity of efficacy and the speed of awakening. Safety in use for the staff in charge of the patient is established. In addition, their potential neuroprotective effect would make it an anesthetic of choice in the prevention of resuscitation delirium.
