Delirium in Old Age Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Lavender Essential Oil for Delirium in Elderly Intensive Care Unit Patients: Study Protocol for a Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial
Elderly critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at risk of delirium, which is primarily characterized by acute consciousness impairment and perceptual, cognitive, and memory impairment, resulting in excess death, care expenditures, and acquired dementia, depression and anxiety, which severely affect the prognosis of critically ill patients. However, there are currently no effective pharmacological strategies for preventing delirium. Inhalation aromatherapy has been proven to benefits the sleep disorder, anxiety or depression and lavender oil is one of the most used essential oils. Therefore, we hypothesized that the use of lavender would reduce the incidence rate of delirium in ICU patients.

Primary | the prevalence of delirium | Assessment will be performed during the study period for all enrolled participants in a timely manner using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). The CAM-ICU, a 2-minute assessment tool, has proven to be quick, valid, and reliable for the diagnosis of delirium in the ICU, making it beneficial for use in both clinical and research contexts. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year (November 31, 2023-November 31, 2024) | |
Secondary | Severity of delirium | Throughout the study, the Confusion Assessment Method-Severity scale will be administered in each included patient. The total score of the Confusion Assessment Method-Severity scale can vary between 0 and 7, where 7 indicates the most severe condition. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year (November 31, 2023-November 31, 2024) | |
Secondary | Duration of delirium | Once delirium is diagnosed, the investigators will record its duration of the patient tests positive for the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) | Through study completion, an average of 1 year (November 31, 2023-November 31, 2024). |
