An Assessment of Delirium in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Undergoing Daily Awakening From Sedation
The overall purpose of this trial is to assess the relationship between a daily awakening
from sedation and the prevalence of delirium, and in doing so better characterize delirium
in the ICU.
from sedation and the prevalence of delirium, and in doing so better characterize delirium
in the ICU.
This is a single center, observational, cross-over design study assessing the impact of
daily awakening from sedation on delirium in the ICU. Enrolled patients will receive a
daily baseline delirium assessment using the CAM-ICU tool before the awakening from sedation
and an assessment during the awakening from sedation. Each patient will thus serve as their
own controls for these interventions.
