Reevaluation Of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Cisatracurium Besylate for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 1,008 participants across 44 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates whether giving a neuromuscular blocker (skeletal muscle relaxant) to a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome will improve survival. Half of the patients will receive a neuromuscular blocker for two days and in the other half the use of neuromuscular blockers will be discouraged.
