Prevention of Delirium With Light in the Intensive Care Unit

NCT01727375 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2015-10-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this multicenter randomised controlled trial is to investigate if circadian light at the patients bedside (using Philips HealWell system, CE marked)significantly reduces prevalence of delirium in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients.

Conditions

  • Delirium

Interventions

OTHER

Circadian light

Artificial ceiling lighting throughout the day will be provided by the Philips HealWell system, CE marked, which is able to deliver varying light levels and warmer or cooler light according to the time of the day (circadian light). Emergency or examination lighting can be set on demand as circumstances require. Lighting conditions at the patients bedside will be characterized by transformations on the time-series of light levels as measured by a luxmeter. The following metrics will be used for lighting characterization in a period of 24h: mean levels of bright and dark periods, contrast between bright and dark periods, clustering of bright and dark periods, and circadian variation.
