FAVoR Intervention Group
In the intervention group, scripted audio messages recorded by the patient's family (FAVoR intervention) will be played for the patient at hourly intervals during daytime hours. These messages will be personalized, delivered automatically, and provide information about the ICU environment. The FAVoR intervention, a standardized protocol developed and tested in preliminary work, will be delivered by audio recording for 5 consecutive days (120 hours), or until ICU discharge if discharge occurs within the first 5 days. The number of episodes of delirium during ICU stay is the primary outcome measure. Data will also be collected at 1 month and 6 months following hospital discharge for secondary aim 3. FAVoR Intervention: The FAVoR intervention includes a set of 8 scripted recorded messages, no longer than 2 minutes long, includes subject's name, uses simple terms, and is written at a 5th grade reading level. Messages include information about the critical care environment, the visual and auditory stimuli to be expected, and the availability of providers and family.
Control Group
The control group will not receive the FAVoR intervention. The number of episodes of delirium during ICU stay is the primary outcome measure. Data will also be collected at 1 month and 6 months following hospital discharge for secondary aim 3.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 20 days in the intensive care unit (ICU)

Population: Delirium assessment were not conducted for all participants due to the following reasons: subject remained deeply sedated and so did not pass criteria for proceeding with the Confusion Assessment Method - Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) assessment and/or subject was extubated prior to the scheduled delirium assessment.

Delirium will be assessed by study personnel, blinded to the group assignment, using Confusion Assessment Method-Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU)
