Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine

    Throughout the duration of sedation management with dexmedetomidine at baseline, 30, 60, 120 minutes and then at 4, 6, 12 hours after each bolus or change in infusion and then at 30,60, 90, 120, 240minutes and 4 hours after the drug is stopped

  • change in plasma concentrations of fentanyl

    Throughout the duration of sedation management with fentanyl at baseline, 30, 60, 120 minutes and then at 4, 6, 12 hours after each bolus or change in infusion and then at 30,60, 90, 120, 240minutes and 4 hours after the drug is stopped

  • change in plasma concentrations of morphine

    Throughout the duration of sedation management with morphine at baseline, 30, 60, 120 minutes and then at 4, 6, 12 hours after each bolus or change in infusion and then at 30,60, 90, 120, 240minutes and 4 hours after the drug is stopped

  • change in plasma concentrations of midazolam

    Throughout the duration of sedation management with midazolam at baseline, 30, 60, 120 minutes and then at 4, 6, 12 hours after each bolus or change in infusion and then at 30,60, 90, 120, 240minutes and 4 hours after the drug is stopped
