PupillOmetry for preDIction of DeliriUM in ICU (PODIUM): protocol for a prospective multicentre cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Delirium is a severe complication that is associated with short-term adverse events, prolonged hospital stay and neurological sequelae in survivors. Automated pupillometry is an easy-to-use device that allows for accurate objective assessment of the pupillary light responses in comatose patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Whether automated pupillometry might predict delirium in critically ill patients is not known. We hypothesise that automated pupillometry could predict the occurrence of delirium in critically ill patients without primary brain injury, requiring more than 48 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU.

Methods and analysis

The PupillOmetry for preDIction of DeliriUM in ICU (PODIUM) study is a prospective cohort study, which will
