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.

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.

Effect of Sedation With Dexmedetomidine vs Lorazepam on Acute Brain Dysfunction in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: The MENDS Randomized Controlled Trial
Pratik P. Pandharipande,Brenda T. Pun,Daniel Herr,Mervyn Maze,Timothy D. Girard,Russell R. Miller,Ayumi Shintani,Jennifer L. Thompson,James C. Jackson,Stephen A. Deppen,Renée A. Stiles,Robert S. Dittus,Gordon R. Bernard,E. Wesley Ely +13 more
TL;DR: In mechanically ventilated ICU patients managed with individualized targeted sedation, use of a dexmedetomidine infusion resulted in more days alive without delirium or coma and more time at the targeted level of sedation than with a lorazepam infusion.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delirium in the intensive care unit
TL;DR: Little evidence exists regarding the prevention and treatment of delirium in the ICU, but multicomponent interventions reduce the incidence of delIRium in non-ICU studies.
