A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY OF HALOPERIDOL IN ADDITION TO STANDARD SEDATION IN DELIRIOUS AND INTUBATED PATIENTS: PRELIMINARY SAFETY ANALYSIS.: 575
Brian B Graham; Ivor S Douglas
Excerpt
Delirium represents profound brain dysfunction and independently predisposes ventilated critically ill patients to higher mortality, longer ICU stays, prolonged ventilation, and worse neurological outcome. Atypical anti-psychotics, (e.g. haloperidol), may reduce delirium and improve ICU outcomes.
