A recent study conducted at Aswan University in Egypt compared the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and ketamine in improving patient tolerance to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) after blunt chest trauma. The study included 45 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either dexmedetomidine, ketamine, or a placebo infusion during NIV sessions. The researchers found that both dexmedetomidine and ketamine significantly increased the duration of NIV sessions compared to the placebo. However, there was no significant difference in NIV duration between the dexmedetomidine and ketamine groups. The study concluded that both drugs were equally effective in improving tolerance to NIV in patients with blunt chest trauma. [Extracted from the article] |
