Registered outcomes7

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Delirium-free Daysup to 14 days after randomization
Defined by the number of days in the 14-day period after randomization that the patient was alive and not delirious (i.e. CAM-ICU negative). Zero delirium-free days will be observed for patients that die within the 14-day period.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Delirium Resolutionup to 14 days after randomizationdefined by the proportion of patients who were delirium free at 14 days after randomization
SecondaryIntensive Care Unit Length of Stayduration of admission to the intensive care unitlength of time that the patient was admitted to an intensive care unit service during the hospital stay
SecondaryNumber of Mechanical Ventilator Free Daysup to 28 days after randomizationnumber of days within the first 28 days after enrollment that the patient was free from needing mechanical ventilation
SecondaryOccurrence of Agitation Requiring Use of Rescue Sedatives While on Study Infusionup to 72 hours after the start of the infusionnumber of times that a RASS score of + 2 to +4 occurred that did not resolve with decreasing study infusion
SecondaryAverage Duration of Study Infusionup to 72 hours after the start of the infusionaverage duration of time patient was randomized to each infusion up to 72 hours
SecondaryAverage Maximum Rate of Study Infusionup to 72 hours after the start of the infusionaverage maximum rate (ml/hr) during the 72 hours after study infusion

Outcomes7

Each outcome the trial posted results for, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as
PRIMARYNumber of Delirium-free Daysup to 14 days after randomization
One patient randomized to the flumazenil and one randomized to the placebo never received the study infusion. The patient in the flumazenil group died from a massive hemorrhage within 1 hour of infusion initiation, and it was deemed nonattributable to study infusion. Twenty patients were included in the final analysis.
