Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Treatment with haloperidol in the 24 hours before ICU admission - ICDSC cannot be obtained due to coma - end stage liver failure - primary neurologic disease (if ICDSC score cannot be performed) - history of severe dementia - history of parkinsonism and/or psychosis - a baseline QTc > 450msec at admission - use of medications with known major interaction with haloperidol (i.e. bosentan, carbamazepine, efavirenz, etravirine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, nevirapine, primidon, rifabutin, lopinavir, ritonavir and rifampicin), patients with delirium caused by acute alcohol withdrawal - pregnancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this study is to assess whether the maximum ICDSC score achieved each day are related to PK parameters of haloperidol in ICU patients with delirium. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To characterize the association between daily haloperidol serum levels and the resolution of individual delirium symptoms as measured by the daily ICDSC score. - To characterize the association between daily haloperidol serum levels and the development of each of the following adverse events: a) any increase in the QTc interval from baseline, b) development of akathisia or other extrapyramidal symptoms and c) comedication. This association will be characterized over time. - To investigate in-patient variability of daily serum levels of scheduled IV haloperidol therapy and explore patient factors that might influence the therapeutic levels achieved. Patients factors that will be evaluated: age, BMI, gender, APACHE-IV score, co-medication and SOFA-score. - To investigate the influence of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 genotype on haloperidol serum levels | — |
