Prevention of Delirium With Light in the Intensive Care Unit

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
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
