ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
Primarydelirium- and coma-free dayswithin the first 14 days after randomisationdays without brain dysfunction (=delirium OR coma) while at the ICU
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Global cognitive functioning3 and 12 monthsGlobal cognitive functioning as assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). Total score will be reported, with a range of 0-30 (higher values representing better cognitive functioning).
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Verbal learning and memory3 and 12 months
Auditory-verbal learning and memory will be assessed with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Three subscores will be reported: total correct words in 5 trials (range: 0 -75), total correct words after delay (range: 0-15) and total correct words at recognition (range: 0-30).
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Semantic fluency3 and 12 monthsSemantic fluency will be tested with the Semantic Category Fluency Test. The amount of animals given within a time of 60 seconds will represent the score.
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Working memory3 and 12 months
Working memory will be assessed using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Third Edition (WAIS-III). Subscales will be reported for both digit span under forward and backward recall conditions. In addition, a total score will be reported, which equals the sum of both separate digit spans.
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Cognitive flexibility3 and 12 months
Cognitive flexibility, one of the executive funcions, will be assessed with the Trialmaking tests A and B. The total amount of seconds needed to finish each test will be reported, with less seconds needed representing better cognitive flexibility.
SecondaryCognitive deterioration: Word retrieval3 and 12 monthsWord retrieval is tested with the Boston Naming Test (30-item version). The total score (range: 0-30) represents the amount of correct answered drawings.
SecondaryAnxiety and depression3 and 12 months
Anxiety and depression will be assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Two subscales will be reported, one for anxiety symptoms (range: 0-21) and one for depression symptoms (range: 0-21). Higher values represent a worse outcome. A subscore \>8 indicates anxiety or depression, respectively.
SecondaryFunctional outcome3 and 12 months
Health-related quality of life will be assessed with the Short Form-35 (SF-36). Nine subscales will be reported on a 0 - 100 scale: physical functioning, role functioning - physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role functioning - emotional, mental health and reported health transition. Higher values represent a better health-related quality of life.
Secondarymortality28 days and 1 yearmortality

SecondaryAdverse drug associated events: prolonged QTc by EKGwhile on study drug treatment during study period at ICU (up to 14 days after randomisation)prolonged QTc by EKG (ms)
SecondaryAdverse drug associated events: muscle rigidity and other associated movements disorderswhile on study drug treatment during study period at ICU (up to 14 days after randomisation)muscle rigidity and other associated movements disorders \[measured with the Simpson Angus Scale\]
SecondaryAdverse drug associated events: ventricular arrhythmia'sduring study period at ICU (up to 14 days after randomisation)ventricular arrhythmia's including torsade de pointes
SecondaryPatients' memories related to their ICU stayat discharge from hospital (up to a maximum of 12 months after randomisation = end of follow-up period) and 3 months after randomisation
Patients' memories for their ICU stay will be evaluated with the ICU Memory Tool (ICU-MT). Subscores will be reported for factual memories (range: 0-11), delusion memories (range: 0-6) and memories of feelings (range: 0-4).
SecondaryPatients' and family-members' experiences related to deliriumat discharge from hospital (up to a maximum of 12 months after randomisation = end of follow-up period) and 3 months after randomisation
Delirium recall and distress related to the delirium episode will be assessed with the Delirium Experience Questionnaire (DEQ). Scores will represent whether patients remember their delirium episode. In addition, a score representing delirium-related distress levels (range: 0-4, with higher values representing more distress) will be reported for both patients and family-members.
SecondaryCaregiver Strainat 3 months after randomisation
The strain experienced by family-members or relatives will be assessed with the Caregiver Strain Index. A total score (range: 0-13) will be reported, with higher values representing higher experienced strain.
SecondaryPosttraumatic stress syndromeat 3 months after randomisation
Posttraumatic stress symptoms in patients and families will be assessed with the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R). A mean total IES-R score will be reported (range: 0-4), with posttraumatic stress disorder defined as a mean IES-R score ≥ 1.6. In addition, subscores will be reported for intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal (range: 0-4).
