Fenobarbital voor geagiteerd delier
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the medication phenobarbital is as effective for treating agitated delirium among adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Agitated delirium is a condition involving confusion and impulsiveness which is dangerous to both patients and healthcare providers.
The main questions this trial aims to answer include:
- Can phenobarbital decrease the amount of time patients with agitated delirium spend in the intensive care unit and the hospital?
- Does phenobarbital decrease the amount of additional calming medications patients with agitated delirium need?
Researchers in this study will compare phenobarbital to other medications commonly used to treat agitated delirium.
Participants will be monitored closely to make sure they remain safe and to measure how well their agitation and confusion are managed while they are in the ICU.

Experimenteel: Phenobarbital Therapy
In alternating months, patients starting therapy for agitated delirium will be assigned to either a phenobarbital regimen or a conventional antipsychotic-based regimen. Patients assigned to Phenobarbital Therapy will receive this drug according to a validated protocol similar to that in use for patients with alcohol withdrawal. Additional "rescue" medications including dexmedetomidine will be available as needed. |
Patients assigned to Phenobarbital Therapy will receive a validated regimen of this medication to manage their symptoms of agitation and impulsiveness. |

Actieve vergelijker: Conventional Therapy
In alternating months, patients starting therapy for agitated delirium will be assigned to either a phenobarbital regimen or a conventional antipsychotic-based regimen. Patients assigned to Conventional Therapy will receive antipsychotics as the primary medications for managing their agitation. Additional "rescue" medications including antipsychotics and dexmedetomidine will be available as needed. |
Patients assigned to Conventional Therapy will receive antipsychotics as the primary medication class used to manage their agitation and impulsiveness. |
