Effect of various antipsychotic regimens on incidence of delirium in critically ill adults.
Delirium is common during critical illness but it is unknown whether the choice of antipsychotic or dosing strategy impacts delirium outcomes. We evaluated the incidence of delirium in critically ill adults receiving different antipsychotic regimens. ⋯ There was no difference in incidence or duration of delirium between quetiapine and haloperidol regimens.
