Conditions

Delirium, Mechanical Ventilation, Sedation

Brief summary

Delirium is one of main adverse events in ventilated patients who receive long-term usage of mono-sedative. Sequential sedation may reduce these adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate incidence and risk factors for delirium in sequential sedation patients.

Detailed description

Previous studies have showed that patients under mechanical ventilation have a higher risk for experiencing delirium than nonmechanically ventilated patients (20%-50%). Its occurrence is also more frequent in elder patients. More than that, it is often hard to identify delirium by physicians, leading to unreasonable management of ICU patients. And delirium is one of main adverse events in ventilated patients who receive long-term usage of mono-sedative. Sequential sedation may reduce these adverse effects. However, few present studies focus on delirium in sequential sedation patients. Thus, in this study, we aimed to determine the factors of delirium in patients who received sequential sedation in ICU.

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Delirium assessment in Sequential Sedation Patients	A maximum of twenty-eight days or until ICU discharge, whichever occurred first.	The primary outcome of this study was delirium. Patient evaluations were implemented using Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) scale every four hours a day for a maximum of twenty-eight days or until ICU discharge, whichever occurred first. The risk factors were analyzed using risk regression (logistic-regression). Any variables which had P\<0.2 after univariable logistic-regression or potential variables associated with delirium were included for multivariable logistic-regression. P\<0.05 was considered to represent statistical significance.
