Brief summary

The analgesic effect of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection will be evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, single-blind, parallel, positive-controlled approach in two steps: step 1, to explore the optimal dosage of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection with 2 experimental arms and 1 positive control and step 2, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection in mechanically ventilated ICU patients at a dosage determined in step 1 with the same positive control.

Interventions

a loading dose of Nalbuphine hydrochloride injection administered in 30 ±10 seconds, followed by a maintenance dose of 2.0mg/h (a recommended maintenance dose range of 1.0\ 5.0mg/h)

A maintenance dose of 0.5mg/h (a recommended maintenance dose range of 0.5\ 3.0mg/h)
