Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Analyze percentage of patients on dexmedetomidine for NIMV needing intubation compared to percentage of patients ongoing current clinical practice (CCP) needing intubation.;Secondary Objective: - Length (in hours) of NIMV for both groups. - ICU length of stay (in days) for both groups. - Hospital length of stay (in days) for both groups. - To compare global ICU mortality in both groups. - To compare respiratory failure related ICU mortality. - To analyze Global inhospital mortality. - To analyze Respiratory failure related inhospital mortality. - To describe ARF evolution in both groups. - To describe tolerance to NIMV along dexmedetomidine VS CCP administration. - To describe adverse effects related to dexmedetomidine administration. - Satisfaction survey for dexmedetomidine VS CCP.;Primary end point(s): Need of intubation: presence or any of these items. - Sp02 800 mmHg after vasoactive drugs. - Ischemic changes or ventricular arrhythmias on EKG related to myocardial hypoxia.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of NIMV | — |
