Summary
This study will be a multicentre randomized, open-label, phase IIIb study. This study will
evaluate two different techniques of sedation: an analgesia based regimen with remifentanil
versus a conventional sedation based regimen using propofol in subjects that require
mechanical ventilation for at least 2 days in the ICU. The conventional sedation based
regimen will consist of propofol combined with an opioid according to routine clinical
practice (morphine, fentanyl, sufentanil or other as required) . The analgesia based regimen
will consist of remifentanil, with propofol added on if required.
