Conditions
Delirium, Postoperative
Interventions
Other: DREAMS-OT
Registration Number
NCT06107517
Lead Sponsor
National University Hospital, Singapore
Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the effectiveness of the DREAMS-OT intervention with standard care in reducing post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) delirium in patients undergoing CABG.

The aims of the study are:

* Conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of the DREAMS-OT intervention with standard care in reducing post-CABG delirium in Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU)

* To conduct a nested cost-effectiveness study

The study team will compare intervention group and standard care group (control group) to see if there is a reduction in the incidence of delirium in patients 5 days post-CABG.
