Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate if sedation of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients influences the development of delirium during their ICU stay and if incidences of delirium have an impact on the development of Post-traumatic Stress-Disorder (PTSD).

Hypothesis 1:

Patients who are minimally sedated, remember staying in ICU and experiences fewer episodes of delirium than patients that are heavily sedated
