About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate opioid dose effects on the ability of the diaphragm muscle to generate higher force behaviors.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fentanyl Injection

    Drug

    Three different fentanyl doses (used for sedation) will be evaluated on their effects on shear wave elastography (SWE) and breathing

Treatment groups

69 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - LowerExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - MidExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Examination - HigherExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Young's modulus (derived from shear wave speed)

Measured by the ultrasound elastography of the diaphragm muscle reported in KPa

Time frame
Baseline, 10 min post-opioid
