Scientific titleSLEAP: a randomised trial of daily sedative interruption in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients being managed with a sedation protocol
Study acronymSLEAP
Study objectivesTo determine whether critically ill, mechanically ventilated adults managed with protocol-directed sedation and daily sedation interruption spend less time on the ventilator and in the intensive care unit (ICU) than patients managed with protocol-directed sedation alone.

The results of the pilot study to this trial can be found at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18552687

SLEAP-SCP Trial:
As of 25/02/2010 this record was updated to include details of an add-on trial entitled: 'SLEAP - Sleep, Cognition and Psychology (SLEAP-SCP): psychological, cognitive, and sleep morbidity associated with the use of a sedation protocol versus a sedation protocol and daily sedative interruption in critically ill, mechanically ventilated adults'. All details of this add-on trial can be found in the relevant fields with the subtitle 'SLEAP-SCP Trial'.

This proposed study will add psychosocial outcome measures to the existing SLEAP study in an attempt to determine if patients in either group have a superior psychological outcome.

The anticipated start and end dates of the SLEAP-SCP Trial are as follows:
Anticipated start date: 01/10/2009
Anticipated end date: 01/12/2011
The SLEAP-SCP Trial has a target number of participants of 94, and is recruiting in Canada, as well as the United States of America.
Ethics approval(s)Research Ethics Board of Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto) approved on the 29th November 2007 (ref: 07-0281-A)

SLEAP-SCP Trial:
Research Ethics Board of Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto) approved on the 8th July 2008 (ref: 08-0135-E)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMechanical ventilation
InterventionExperimental group:
Protocol-directed sedation and daily sedation interruption while patient is mechanically ventilated and receiving intravenous sedation infusions.

Control group:
Protocol-directed sedation while patient is mechanically ventilated and receiving intravenous sedation infusions.

Both groups will have sedation and analgesia managed according to their assigned strategy for the duration of their infusions of sedation and/or analgesia in the ICU. At 60 days, all study interventions (e.g., charting of sedation-agitation scale [SAS] and daily data collection) will cease, but patients will be followed for outcomes (e.g., duration of mechanical ventilation [MV], lengths of stay).

SLEAP takes place primarily in the ICU setting. All study interventions and data collection (e.g., charting of SAS or Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale [RASS], and daily data) (Daily Data Forms 4 to 7) will continue while patients are mechanically ventilated and receiving infusions of sedatives/analgesics. If patients remain ventilated and receiving infusions at 60 days, study interventions will cease, but patients will be followed to document clinical outcomes (e.g., duration of MV, ICU and hospital length of stay). Research Coordinators will not record daily data after discontinuation of drug infusions, but will interview patients on days 3 and 28, and 3 months after ICU discharge, to determine recall of ICU events.

SLEAP-SCP Trial:
Patients enrolled in SLEAP will be approached after ICU discharge for consent for SLEAP-SCP. At 1 week and 6 months post-ICU discharge, patients will undergo measurements of psychological variables, using validated instruments for the assessment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, delirium, neurocognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, sleep impairment, functional recovery following critical illness.

Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureTime to successful extubation measured from intubation to extubation or tracheostomy mask for 48 hours.

SLEAP-SCP Trial:
Extent of depressive, anxiety (Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale [HADS] scores) and PTSD symptoms (Impact of Events Scale [IES] scores), compared across the two arms of the SLEAP study.
Secondary outcome measures1. ICU and hospital mortality, patients will be followed until hospital discharge or death
2. ICU and length of hospital stay, patients will be followed until hospital discharge or death
3. Adverse events (e.g., self-removal of endotracheal tube), measured while in ICU, receiving sedative/analgesic infusions, and being managed with the SLEAP sedation strategy
4. Delirium, as assessed by the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, measured while in ICU, receiving sedative/analgesic infusions, and being managed with the SLEAP sedation strategy
5. Reintubation and tracheostomy rates, measured while in ICU, receiving sedative/analgesic infusions, and being managed with the SLEAP sedation strategy
6. Neurologic function, measured while in ICU, receiving sedative/analgesic infusions, and being managed with the SLEAP sedation strategy
7. Patient recall of ICU events, measured on days 1 - 3, 1 month and 3 months post ICU discharge
Overall study start date01/01/2008
Completion date01/06/2010
