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