Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine infusion and oral melatonin on preventing delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.


Description:

Delirium is experienced in 20% to 40% of the critically ill and up to 80% of mechanically ventilated (MV) medical or surgical patients . It is a confessional state that has been described as a transient global disorder of cognition, awareness, and attention and as such is not only challenging for the treating medical team, but also has a considerable impact on affected patients. It is associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and time on MV, deterioration in cognition, and increased morbidity and mortality causing additional health-care expenses.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The incidence of delirium The incidence of delirium within 14 days from admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) or until ICU discharge before this time. Every 12 hours throughout the study. 14 days from admission to intensive care unit
Secondary The onset of delirium. • Duration of delirium. • Frequency of delirium. • Length of ICU stay. • Total dose of Haloperidol per day. Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for intensive care unit (CAM- ICU) score at admission to ICU and every 12hr throughout the study.
The final CAM-ICU score ranges from 0-7 with 7 being most severe. CAM-ICU-7 scores were further categorized as 0-2: no delirium, 3-5: mild to moderate delirium, and 6-7: severe delirium.
14 days from admission to intensive care unit
Secondary Duration of delirium Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for intensive care unit(CAM- ICU) score at admission to ICU and every 12hr throughout the study.
The final CAM-ICU score ranges from 0-7 with 7 being most severe. CAM-ICU-7 scores were further categorized as 0-2: no delirium, 3-5: mild to moderate delirium, and 6-7: severe delirium.
14 days from admission to intensive care unit
Secondary Frequency of delirium Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method for intensive care unit(CAM- ICU)score at admission to ICU and every 12hr throughout the study.
The final CAM-ICU score ranges from 0-7 with 7 being most severe. CAM-ICU-7 scores were further categorized as 0-2: no delirium, 3-5: mild to moderate delirium, and 6-7: severe delirium.
14 days from admission to intensive care unit
