Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Microcirculatory function as assessed by perfused vessel density

    Microcirculatory parameter

    one hour

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Dose of sedatives and analgesic agents

    14 days

  • Oxygen metabolic: lactate clearance time

    six hours

Study Arms (2)

Early goal directed sedation group

EXPERIMENTAL

Dexmedetomidine for sedation in early goal directed sedation group * Analgesia * Dexmedetomidine start at 0.7ug/kg/hour * Dose range: 0.2- 0.7 u/kg/hour * Supplemental other sedatives at lowest effective dose Target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score of -2 to +1 to achieve sedation goal in EGDS group

Drug: Dexmedetomidine for sedation

Standard sedation

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Control drug for sedation in early goal directed sedation group * Analgesia * Control drug * Supplemental other sedatives at lowest effective dose for standard sedation Target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score of -2 to +1 to achieve sedation goal

Drug: Dexmedetomidine for sedation

Interventions

Dexmedetomidine or control drug for sedation * Analgesia * Propofol at lowest dosage. * Dose range: 0.1- 0.7 u/kg/hour * Target RASS score of -2 to +1 * Supplemental other sedatives at lowest effective dose

Also known as: Control drug for sedation
