Conditions

Hydromorphone, Analgesia, ICU

Brief summary

Hydromorphone has a clear analgesic effect, and has few advantages in respiratory depression and gastrointestinal motility. The study will further explore the continuous pumping-dose of hydromorphone for ICU non-mechanical ventilation patients and monitor its effective plasma concentration as well as evaluates the safety and effectiveness of hydromorphone for ICU non-mechanical ventilation patients.

Interventions

DRUGHydromorphone

Intravenous analgesia using hydromorphone in ICU patients with non-mechanical ventilation(NS 40ML+ hydromorphone 10mg ,IV-Pump)

DRUGFentanyl

Intravenous analgesia using fentanyl in ICU patients with non-mechanical ventilation(NS 40ML+ fentanyl 0.5mg, IV-Pump)

Intravenous analgesia using butorphanol in ICU patients with non-mechanical ventilation(NS 40ML+ butorphanol 10mg,IV-Pump)

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥18 years old; * Non-mechanical ventilation patients with expected ICU stay time \>24h * People with moderate to severe pain who need immediate analgesic treatment (NRS ≥ 4 or BPS ≥ 5 points, CPOT ≥ 3);

Exclusion criteria

* During pregnancy or breastfeeding; * Confirmed acute severe intracranial or spinal nerve disease caused by vascular, infection, intracranial dilation or injury; * Non-compensatory acute circulatory failure (severe hypotension with MAP\<55 mmHg even if sufficient fluid resuscitation and vascular compression therapy); * Severe bradycardia (heart rate\<55 beats/min) or heart block of degree II-III (excluding those with pacemakers installed); * Unable to obtain pain scores or any other conditions that may seriously interfere with the collection of research data; * Have used analgesics other than remifentanil during mechanical ventilation in the ICU; * Having a history of long-term use of opioid drugs or opioid addiction; * Known allergy history of experimental drugs; * Suffering from severe or acute asthma, or respiratory depression caused by severe carbon dioxide retention, head injury, and intracranial damage; * Danger period intestinal obstruction (present or at risk of progression to gastrointestinal obstruction, especially in patients with paralytic intestinal obstruction); * Having participated in this study or any other intervention studies (any study that assigns patients to different treatment groups); * Unsuitable to participate in this experiment according to the judgment of the researchers.
