  • The patient is under intensive medical care, intubated and ventilated
  • The expected duration of ventilation and analgesia/sedation is \> 24 hours and \</= 7 days
  • Propofol is planned to be used as sedative
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA
  • Contraindication against administration of remifentanil, sufentanil, or propofol
  • Concomitant medications:
  • The patient is receiving epidural analgesia or a peripheral regional anesthetic therapy.
  • The patient is requiring muscle relaxants to facilitate mechanical ventilation
  • The patient participated in clinical drug trials within the previous 30 days or participated in this clinical trial before or is currently participating in any other clinical trial
  • The patient has a known hypersensitivity to the drugs under investigation or to propofol (and other components of the preparation to be used), soy and peanut
  • For female patients: the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding
  • The patient is classified as ASA V or moribund
  • The patient must be expected to show an impaired cerebral or neurologic capacity due to illness, trauma or other interventions, which will interfere with the collection of the analgesia/sedation scores and the waking behavior as for example, without being limited to:
  • Hypoxic brain damage
  • Cerebrocranial trauma grades II, III, and IV
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain-stem hemorrhage, ischemic-hemorrhagic cerebral hemorrhages

  • The patient is receiving chronic (\> 3 months) therapy with high-potency opioids/WHO level 3
  • The patient is alcohol or drug dependent (legal or illegal drugs in particular, but not exclusively with dependency on sedatives or benzodiazepines), defined as:
  • Typically an urgent desire to take the substance, problems in controlling consumption, and persistent use of the substance despite adverse consequences.

  • The patient suffers from a manifest organ failure
  • The patient suffers from severe heart failure, NYHA Class IV (symptoms at rest)
  • The patient has a history of or actually suffers from ventricular tachycardia, ventricular flutter or ventricular fibrillation
