NCT03402113

Brief Summary

To investigate the effects of different sedation protocols on skeletal muscle metabolism in mechanical ventilated patients in ICU. Mechanical ventilated patients who are anticipated to stay in ICU for more than 5 days are enrolled and randomly assigned to the following three groups, interventional group(dexmedetomidine), control group(midazolam) and no sedation group. Serum, CT scan of intercostal muscles, ultrasound evaluation of quadriceps femoris are obtained.
