Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if haloperidol, given preventively, could enhance survival rates in critically ill adults prone to delirium, involving 1,789 participants across 21 ICUs in the Netherlands.
- The research found no significant difference in survival rates between the haloperidol (both 1 mg and 2 mg) and placebo groups after 28 days, leading to the early termination of the 1-mg haloperidol group due to lack of effectiveness.
