NCT03002701

Brief Summary

Delirium is a common disorder in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and is associated with serious short- and long-term consequences. This study focuses on a program of standardized nursing and physical therapy interventions to prevent delirium in the ICU, and determines the effect of the program on the number of delirium-coma-free days in 28 days and several secondary outcomes in a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Delirium incidence

    28 days

  • The number of days of survival

    28 days

  • The number of days of survival

    90 days

  • Duration of mechanical ventilation

    28 days

  • Incidence of re-intubation

    28 days

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Control - standard care

NO INTERVENTION

Prior to implementation of the intervention package the current standard of care will be maintained.

Intervention group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After implementation the intervention package will be implemented as standard care.

Behavioral: UNDERPIN-ICU program

Interventions

UNDERPIN-ICU consists of standardized protocols focusing on several modifiable risk factors for delirium, including cognitive impairment, sleep deprivation, immobility and visual and hearing impairment.

Intervention group

Eligibility Criteria
