Comparison of the effects of esketamine/midazolam and remifentanil/midazolam on respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

BMC Anesthesiology July 5, 2025 Dujuan Qiao, Wei Liu, Huanjia Xue et al. 5 citations

Esketamine exerts analgesic effects and has pharmacological properties of bronchodilation and elevation of mean arterial pressure, making it an interesting analgesic agent for patients with ARDS. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of esketamine/midazolam and remifentanil/midazolam on respiratory mechanics and oxygenation in mechanically ventilated...
