Study Arms (2)

Patients will receive dexmedetomidine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive dexmedetomidine (Precedex®; 200 µg/2 ml; at one µg/kg loading dose over 10 minutes followed by a 0.5 µg/kg/hr. maintenance dose for 48 hours Dexmedetomidine will be diluted in normal saline at a 4 µg/ ml concentration

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

Patients will receive ketamine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive ketamine at one mg/kg IV loading dose over 10 minutes, then a continuous infusion starting at 300 µg /kg/hr over 48 hours

Drug: Ketamine

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patients admitted to ICU after ileus surgery (perforated viscus, infarcted bowel, strangulated hernia, anastomotic leakage, diverticulitis, and intestinal obstruction), and who will be expected to require postoperative sedation and ventilation.
  • Abdominal sepsis was determined as organ dysfunction with a substantial change in overall SOFA score (2) ≥ 2 points because of intra-abdominal sepsis.

You may not qualify if:

  • Known allergy to ketamine, dexmedetomidine,
  • Confirmed pregnancy,
  • Heart failure (class 3 or 4 of the New York Heart Association),
  • Renal failure (RIFLE classification),
  • Liver failure (manifested by serum total protein concentration \<3 g/dl and total bilirubin \>5 mg/dl)
  • Known or suspected brain death.
  • Patients who receive neuromuscular blockers during the first 48 hours of ICU admission will also be excluded.
