Journal ArticleDOI
Delirium as a predictor of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit
E. Wesley Ely,Ayumi Shintani,Brenda Truman,Theodore Speroff,Sharon M. Gordon,Frank E. Harrell,Sharon K. Inouye,Gordon R. Bernard,Robert S. Dittus +8 more
TL;DR: Delirium was an independent predictor of higher 6-month mortality and longer hospital stay even after adjusting for relevant covariates including coma, sedatives, and analgesics in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delirium in mechanically ventilated patients: validity and reliability of the confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit (CAM-ICU).
Eugene Wesley Ely,Sharon K. Inouye,Gordon R. Bernard,Sharon M. Gordon,Joseph Francis,L. May,Brenda Truman,Theodore Speroff,Shiva Gautam,Richard Margolin,Robert P. Hart,Robert S. Dittus +11 more
TL;DR: The CAM-ICU appears to be rapid, valid, and reliable for diagnosing delirium in the ICU setting and may be a useful instrument for both clinical and research purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of a paired sedation and ventilator weaning protocol for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care (Awakening and Breathing Controlled trial): a randomised controlled trial
Timothy D. Girard,John P. Kress,Barry D. Fuchs,Jason W. W. Thomason,William D. Schweickert,Brenda T. Pun,Darren B. Taichman,Jan Dunn,Anne S. Pohlman,Paul Kinniry,James C. Jackson,Angelo E. Canonico,Richard W. Light,Ayumi Shintani,Jennifer L. Thompson,Sharon M. Gordon,Sharon M. Gordon,Jesse B. Hall,Robert S. Dittus,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard,E. Wesley Ely,E. Wesley Ely +22 more
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 as a predictor of long-term cognitive impairment in survivors of critical illness
Timothy D. Girard,James C. Jackson,Pratik P. Pandharipande,Brenda T. Pun,Jennifer L. Thompson,Ayunni K. Shintani,Sharon M. Gordon,Angelo E. Canonico,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard,E. Wesley Ely +10 more
TL;DR: In this study of mechanically ventilated medical intensive care unit patients, duration of delirium was independently associated with long-term cognitive impairment, a common public health problem amongintensive care unit survivors.
