Study Summary
This study will investigate if enteric feeding schedules alter the development of delirium in Intensive Care Unit patients who have been placed on mechanical ventilation. Delirium is an altered state of consciousness, which can involve agitation, inattention, and decreased awareness. We will enroll Intensive Care Unit patients who have been placed on a ventilator and are being given tube feedings. We will randomize participants into two groups: one group will receive continuous feedings via feeding tube, and the other group will receive feedings on a schedule to mimic breakfast, lunch, a snack, and dinner. Subjects will be assessed for the development of delirium. Subjects will also be monitored for sleep quality.
Primary Outcome
The development of delirium as measured by the CAM-ICU (Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU) protocol. The percent of patients developing delirium will be assessed in each arm. Delirium will be assessed every 12 hours.
