Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate ICU Simulation Experience in the Cardiothoracic Surgical Population to Reduce Post-operative Delirium (NCT NCT05159648)

NCT ID: NCT05159648

Last Updated: 2025-04-08

Results Overview

Number of Participants with one or more Positive Confusion Assessment. "Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU" - Establishes ability to detect delirium in high-risk settings such as the intensive care unit. Recorded during every scheduled patient assessment by nurse and with mental changes. Reports as "Positive" or "Negative" with response to different assessments regarding level of consciousness, acute onset or fluctuating course of mental status and inattention.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment
