Brief Summary: Delirium is common in septic patients especially those receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit ICU Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adrenoreceptor agonist with anxiolytic sedative analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects Use of dexmedetomidine in mechanically ventilated ICU patients is associated with less delirium and improved outcomes However dexmedetomidine infusion produces dose-dependent bradycardia and hypotension these limited the use of dexmedetomidine in ICU patients This study is designed to test the hypothesis that low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion can also reduce delirium in mechanically ventilated ICU patients with sepsis
Detailed Description: Delirium is an acutely occurred and fluctuating disorder of consciousness attention and cognition The occurrence of delirium is associated with worse outcomes including prolonged mechanical ventilation prolonged length of stay in ICU and hospital increased complications higher in-hospital mortality and evaluated medical expenses It is also associated with worse long-term outcomes including cognitive decline worse quality of life and shortened long-term survival

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 adrenoreceptor agonist with anxiolytic sedative analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects Studies showed that use of dexmedetomidine is associated with less delirium in ICU patients Potential mechanisms may include better sleep quality less consumption of opioids and benzodiazepines and suppressed inflammatory response

The incidence of sepsis in ICU patients is as high as 472 93 of septic patients relying on mechanical ventilation Delirium is common in septic patients the reported incidences varies from 20 to 50 The incidence of delirium in critically ill patients with mechanical ventilation is up to 60-84 However the majority of mechanically ventilated ICU patients are sedated with propofol only 10 of them are given dexmedetomidine A main reason is that dexmedetomidine infusion is associated with dose-related bradycardia and hypotension

In a previous study might-time low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion 01 μgkgh improved subjective sleep quality and reduced delirium in elderly patients admitted to ICU after surgery In another study of ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion 0-05 μgkgh based on protocol sedation also reduced delirium and shortened mechanical ventilation without increasing adverse events We hypothesized that in ICU septic patients with mechanical ventilation low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion 01-02 μgkgh might also reduce delirium

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion on incidence of delirium in ICU septic patients with mechanical ventilation
