Prevention of Delirium With Light in the Intensive Care Unit
- Conditions
- Delirium
- Interventions
- Other: Circadian light
- Registration Number
- NCT01727375
- Lead Sponsor
- Charite University, Berlin, Germany
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this multicenter randomised controlled trial is to investigate if circadian light at the patients bedside (using Philips HealWell system, CE marked)significantly reduces prevalence of delirium in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients.
- Detailed Description
Patients, who are randomly assigned to the "Lightening arm" will have the circadian light for the whole ICU stay. Light levels at the patients bedside will be measured continuously: embedded light sensors provide irradiance and luminous lux recordings in red, green, and blue color bands and a white light measurement in lux

Group Intervention Description Ciradian light Circadian light In this arm patients receive artificial ceiling light (circadian light) at the bedside.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Prevalence of delirium Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Dekirium will be measured with the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Delirium prevalence Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days In this case, delirium will be measured with the help of the Intensive care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)
Severity of delirium Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Severity of delirium will be measured with the help of the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)
Duration of delirium Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Prevalence of subsyndromal delirium (SSD) Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Severity of anxiety Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Cognitive Dysfunction ICU admission, ICU discharge, 6 months after hospital discharge, 12 months after ICU discharge Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge Sleep quality In the night, starting 48 hours after ICU admission ICU length of stay Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Duration of mechanical ventilation Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Hospital length of stay Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 4 weeks Pain level Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Level of sedation Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Amount of administered opioids Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Amount of administered benzodiazepines Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Amount of administered sedatives Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Amount of administered antipsychotics Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Mortality ICU discharge, hospital discharge, 6 months after hospital discharge, 12 months after hospital discharge Light levels (lux) Light levels (lux) Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Light frequencies Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days Noise levels (decibel) Participants will be followed for the duration of Intensive Care Unit stay, an expected average of 5 days
