REMIMID-ICU: Remimazolam vs Midazolam for Deep Sedation in Hemodynamically Unstable, Mechanically Ventilated Adults
180 participantsStarted 2025-10-01
Plain-language summary
This trial evaluates whether remimazolam provides superior sedation quality compared with midazolam in adults receiving invasive mechanical ventilation with ongoing vasopressor support. The primary outcome is the percentage of time within target sedation (RASS -3 to -5) without rescue sedative during the first 48 hours after randomization. Key secondary outcomes include vasopressor exposure (NEE AUC 0-48h), time to awakening, delirium incidence, ventilator-free days, and 28-day mortality.

Inclusion
* Age ≥18 years.
* Invasive mechanical ventilation at randomization; anticipated continuous sedation ≥24 hours.
* Hemodynamic instability requiring vasopressor support despite adequate resuscitation: NEE ≥0.10 μg/kg/min for ≥1 hour within 6 hours prior to randomization, or equivalent.
* At least one sign of hypoperfusion (e.g., lactate \>2 mmol/L, oliguria, mottled skin, or altered mentation) unless solely due to sedation.
Exclusion
• Known pregnancy; status epilepticus; severe hepatic failure (Child-Pugh C) or on ECMO; refractory hypoxemia requiring prone position at randomization; benzodiazepine hypersensitivity; need for continuous neuromuscular blockade \>24h at baseline; moribund not expected to survive 24h; investigator judgement.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
