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
The effectiveness of right heart catheterization in the initial care of critically ill patients
Alfred F. Connors,Alfred F. Connors,Theodore Speroff,Neal V. Dawson,Charles Thomas,Frank E. Harrell,Frank E. Harrell,Douglas P. Wagner,Norman A. Desbiens,Lee Goldman,Albert W. Wu,Robert M. Califf,William J. Fulkerson,Humberto Vidaillet,Steven K. Broste,Paul Bellamy,Joanne Lynn,William A. Knaus +17 more
TL;DR: RHC was associated with increased mortality and increased utilization of resources, and these findings justify reconsideration of a randomized controlled trial of RHC and may guide patient selection for such a study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Delirium in Critically Ill Patients: Validation of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU)
Eugene Wesley Ely,Richard Margolin,Joseph Francis,Lisa May,Brenda Truman,Robert S. Dittus,Theodore Speroff,Shiva Gautam,Gordon R. Bernard,Sharon K. Inouye +9 more
TL;DR: The CAM-ICU demonstrated excellent reliability and validity when used by nurses and physicians to identify delirium in intensive care unit patients and may be a useful instrument for both clinical and research purposes to monitor deliria in this challenging patient population.
