- Percentage of time adequate sedation depth [ Time Frame: During study treatment up to 48 (±6) hours ]To compare the percentage of time sedation depth is maintained within the target range, in absence of rescue sedation, as assessed according to the RASS scale, in isoflurane- vs propofol-treated patients
- Key Secondary: Compare the use of opioids [ Time Frame: During study treatment up to 48 (±6) hours ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on use of opioids during the study drug treatment period measuring CPOT
- Key Secondary: Compare the wake up time [ Time Frame: End of study treatment (EOT) ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on the wake up time at end of study drug treatment
- Key Secondary: Compare the cognitive recovery after EOT [ Time Frame: 60 minutes after EOT ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on cognitive recovery after EOT by measuring CAM-ICU-7
- Key Secondary: Compare the spontaneous breathing effort [ Time Frame: During study treatment up to 48 (±6) hours ]
To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on spontaneous breathing effort during the study drug treatment period by measuring
• Airway occlusion pressure, pressure support or if observed respiratory rate exceeds set respiratory rate
- Other secondary: Compare time from sedation termination to extubation [ Time Frame: During study treatment ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on time from sedation termination to extubation in patients for whom study drug is terminated for extubation
- Other secondary: Compare days alive and free of mechanical ventilation through Study Day 30 [ Time Frame: From start of study treatment up to 30 days ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on days alive and free of mechanical ventilation through Study Day 30
- Other secondary: Compare days alive and free of the ICU [ Time Frame: From start of study treatment up to 30 days ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on days alive and free of the ICU
- Other secondary: Compare delirium and coma free days until 7 days after EOT [ Time Frame: From start of study treatment until 7 days after EOT ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on delirium and coma free days until 7 days after EOT
- Other secondary: Compare mortality at 30 days after randomization [ Time Frame: Until 30 days after randomization ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on mortality at 30 days after randomization
- Other secondary: Compare mortality at 3 months after randomization [ Time Frame: Until 3 months after randomization ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on mortality at 3 months after randomization
- Other secondary: Compare mortality at 6 months after randomization [ Time Frame: Until 6 months after randomization ]To compare the effect of isoflurane vs propofol on mortality at 6 months after randomization
- Other secondary: To compare the safety profile of isoflurane vs propofol [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of study treatment, safety lab from baseline up to 48hrs post treatment, AEs from start study treatment up to day 30 ]To compare the safety profile of isoflurane vs propofol in respect to reported Adverse Event
- Other secondary: To assess Sedaconda ACD-S device deficiencies in patients receiving isoflurane [ Time Frame: During study treatment up to 48 (±6) hours ]To assess Sedaconda ACD-S device deficiencies in patients receiving isoflurane by Sedaconda ACD-S by reported Adverse Event
- Other secondary: To compare the use of restraints in patients receiving isoflurane vs propofol [ Time Frame: During study treatment up to 48 (±6) hours ]Incidence of restraints measured twice daily

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults ≥18 years of age;
- Patients who are anticipated to require >12 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation and continuous sedation in the ICU; and
- Receipt of continuous sedation due to clinical need for sedation to RASS <0.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Need for RASS -5;
- Sedation for invasive mechanical ventilation immediately prior to Baseline for >72 hours;
- Severe neurological condition before ICU admission that causes the patient to lack ability to participate in the study (ie, unable to be assessed for RASS and CPOT);
- Ventilator tidal volume <200 or >1000 mL at Baseline;
- Need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R), high frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV), or high frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) at Screening;
- Comfort care only (end of life care);
- Contraindication to propofol or isoflurane;
- Known or family history of MH;
- Severe hemodynamic compromise, defined as the need for norepinephrine ≥0.3 mcg/kg/min (or equivalent vasopressor dose) to maintain blood pressure within acceptable range, assumed to be mean arterial pressure ≥65 mmHg unless prescribed clinically;
- Allergy to isoflurane or propofol, or have propofol infusion syndrome.
- History of ventricular tachycardia/Long QT Syndrome;
- Requirement of IV benzodiazepine or barbiturate administration for seizures or dependencies, including alcohol withdrawal
- Neuromuscular disease that impairs spontaneous ventilation (eg, C5 or higher spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc);
- Concurrent enrollment in another study that, in the Investigator's opinion, would impact the patient's safety or assessments of this study;
- Participation in other study involving investigational drug(s) or devices(s) within 30 days prior to Randomization;
- Anticipated requirement of treatment with continuous infusion of a neuromuscular blocking agent for >4 hours;
- Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding;
- Imperative need for continuous active humidification through mechanical ventilation circuit;
- Attending physician's refusal to include the patient; or
- Inability to obtain informed consent.
