Overview

This study aims to compare the effects of inhaled isoflurane sedation with the standard of care IV sedative propofol. Patients enrolled on this study will be on a ventilator (breathing machine) for more than 12 hours and require continuous sedation to keep the patient comfortable which can range from a state of drowsiness and relaxtion to a state of unconsciousness. The study drug, inhaled isoflurane, has been approved for use during surgery and is routinely used in this setting but this study will evaluate the drug as a general ICU sedative and it will be delivered through the Sedaconda ACD-S device which connects to the breathing tube.
