Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy of early neuromuscular blockade in reducing mortality among patients with moderate to severe ARDS, initiated within 48 hours of diagnosis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine whether the use of neuromuscular blocking agents in patients with moderate or severe ARDS, initiated within 48 hours of diagnosis, improves the quality of life (QOL) as measured by EQ-5D, reduces the incidence of pressure injuries, shortens the duration of mechanical ventilation, and decreases the occurrence of ICU-acquired weakness. A subgroup analysis will compare studies where the control group received deep sedation versus light sedation. | — |
