The analysis model has been developed to compare the costs and clinical outcome of sedated and ventilated intensive care patients. Clinical data is derived from a German retrospective study (Bellgardt et al., Eur J Anaesthesiology 2016, 33: 6-13), that compares in-hospital mortality and 365-day mortality for long-term ventilated ( > 96 hours) surgical intensive care unit patients sedated with either isoflurane via AnaConDa or sedated intravenously with propofol or midazolam. The costs included in the analysis are based on a published study of UK intensive care units in adult patients and current use of propofol and midazolam.
The conclusions of the analysis are:
- Sedation with isoflurane via AnaConDa significantly reduces mortality compared to propofol / midazolam.
- This mortality reduction is associated with a cost increase in the UK of £ 1,677 per patient.
- The total cost per death avoided is £ 7,943.
"The analysis is based on a large study showing that long-term sedation with isoflurane is not only a safe therapy, but also associated with an increased chance of survival, several months after treatment. The primary goal of intensive care is to save the patient's life. It is reassuring and positive that the cost is significantly less than what is required for a treatment to be considered cost-effective by the British Health Authority, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)," says Peter Sackey, Chief Medical Officer of Sedana Medical.
"We have shown several times before that sedation with isoflurane via AnaConDa is a good therapy. However, getting concrete evidence that inhalation sedation is cost effective and what it costs to save a life is extremely important. It will facilitate future dialogue with payers in connection with the registration of IsoConDa (isoflurane)," says Christer Ahlberg, CEO of Sedana Medical.
