Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients will be eligible for the study if, in the opinion of the treating clinician, they continue to require mechanical ventilation only because their degree of agitation requires such a high dose of sedative medication (midazolam or propofol, the only commonly used specific sedatives in our unit) that extubation is not possible.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who could not be extubated even if delirium or agitation were corrected. This will include:
* Patients receiving high dose opioid analgesia (\>20 m/morphine/day)
* Patients shortly to return to the operating theatre
* Patients undergoing repeated invasive procedures, in whom it is desirable to maintain deep sedation.
* Patients likely to require ongoing airway protection or control, or ventilatory support (for example, spinal patients with an inadequate vital capacity)
* Known allergy to haloperidol or alpha2 agonists
