General Critical Care

In a multi-center, double-blind randomized trial across eight Dutch ICUs, 132 critically ill adults with delirium were administered intravenous haloperidol or placebo, resulting in no significant difference in delirium- and coma-free days. The study, which was terminated early for futility, also found haloperidol might decrease the need for benzodiazepines and reduce agitation-related behaviors, although these secondary outcomes were not statistically conclusive.
