TL;DR: It is suggested that a wake up and breathe protocol that pairs daily spontaneous awakening trials (ie, interruption of sedatives) with daily spontaneous breathing trials results in better outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care than current standard approaches and should become routine practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring sedation status over time in ICU patients: reliability and validity of the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS).
E. Wesley Ely,Brenda Truman,Ayumi Shintani,Jason W. W. Thomason,Arthur P. Wheeler,Sharon M. Gordon,Joseph Francis,Theodore Speroff,Shiva Gautam,Richard Margolin,Curtis N. Sessler,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard +12 more
TL;DR: This is the first sedation scale to be validated for its ability to detect changes in sedation status over consecutive days of ICU care, against constructs of level of consciousness and delirium, and correlated with the administered dose of sedative and analgesic medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delirium and its motoric subtypes: A study of 614 critically ill patients.
Josh F. Peterson,Brenda T. Pun,Robert S. Dittus,Jason W. W. Thomason,James C. Jackson,Ayumi Shintani,E. Wesley Ely +6 more
TL;DR: To describe the motoric subtypes of delirium in critically ill patients and compare patients aged 65 and older with a younger cohort is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive care unit delirium is an independent predictor of longer hospital stay: a prospective analysis of 261 non-ventilated patients
Jason W. W. Thomason,Ayumi Shintani,Josh F. Peterson,Brenda T. Pun,James C. Jackson,E. Wesley Ely +5 more
TL;DR: Delirium occurred in nearly half of the non-ventilated ICU patients in this cohort, and was found to be an independent predictor of longer hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current opinions regarding the importance, diagnosis, and management of delirium in the intensive care unit: a survey of 912 healthcare professionals.
E. Wesley Ely,Rasheeda K. Stephens,James C. Jackson,Jason W. W. Thomason,Brenda Truman,Sharon M. Gordon,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard +7 more
TL;DR: Most healthcare professionals consider delirium in the intensive care unit a common and serious problem, although few actually monitor for this condition and most admit that it is underdiagnosed.
