Summary
In this randomized study, the investigators aim to test the hypothesis that the reinstitution
of a normal circadian rhythm by continuous infusions of dexmedetomidine compared to propofol
between 8pm and 6am after diagnosis of hyperactive or mixed delirium, decreases the duration
of delirium. The infusions might have to be repeated several times to achieve resolution of
delirium.
