1 Guided Occupational Therapist Cognitive Interventions in Critically Ill Patients

Title: Guided Occupational Therapist (OT) Cognitive Interventions for Critically Ill Patients Short Title: GOTCI Methodology: Randomized Control Trial Study Duration: 12-15 months Study Centre: Single Center - South Health Campus, ICU, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Objectives: The aim for this study is to evaluate the effect of specific OT guided cognitive interventions on delirium in adult critically ill patients. Number of Subjects: 112 Primary Outcome: Delirium Prevalence and Duration Secondary Outcomes: Cognitive function, physical function, quality of life, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay and days of mechanical ventilation. Inclusion Criteria: Adult Critically Ill Patients admitted to South Health Campus ICU, Calgary, Alberta Type of Intervention: OT guided cognitive intervention based on RASS score Dose: One on one therapeutic sessions with an OT. Five days a week, Monday to Friday, between 0800-1600. There will be twice daily sessions for 20 minutes each. Duration of administration: Cognitive Therapy to be initiated Monday to Friday, for the duration of participant ICU admission. Reference therapy: Standard of care within the Department of Critical Care Medicine in Calgary is delirium prevention strategies using the ABCDEF bundled approach. Statistical Methodology: Descriptive statistics (mean, median, proportion) will be employed to describe the study population. The primary outcome of delirium prevalence will be explored using multivariable logistic regression, which will provide an estimate of the odds ratio and accompanying 95% confidence intervals. Both per protocol and intent to treat analyses will be performed.

NCT03604809 Delirium Other: OT Guided Cognitive Interventions
MeSH:Delirium

Primary Outcomes

Description: Ever Delirium: Measured using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). If the patient has a positive score in the ICDSC at any point during the patient's ICU stay then the patient is considered to have delirium and qualifies for Ever Delirium. Delirium Duration: Number of days the patient has a positive score on the ICDSC. This does not have to be consecutive days.

Measure: Delirium Prevalence and Duration

Time: From date of patient enrolment to ICU discharge, an average of 6.7 days.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Johns Hopkins Adapted Cognitive Exam (ACE) o The Adapted Cognitive Exam is the first valid and reliable examination for the assessment and quantification of cognition in critically ill patients. It provides a useful, objective tool that can be used by any member of the interdisciplinary critical care team to support clinical assessment and research efforts.

Measure: Cognitive Function

Time: Measured within 24 hours of patient ICU admission and again after the treatment period is completed which is an average of 6.7 days.

Description: Dates will be obtained from electronic medical charts. I.e. Sunrise Clinical Manager.

Measure: ICU length of stay

Time: ICU admission date to ICU discharge date is the time the patient will be given the treatment which is an average of 6.7 days.

Description: The Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU). The Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU) is an assessment of physical function specifically designed for ICU patients. It is scored based on 5 mobility domains (rolling in bed, lying to sitting, sitting balance, sitting to standing and walking) and the level of assistance the patient requires to complete the task. Each item is out of 7, with total scores ranging from 0-35 and a high score correlating to high function. The FSS-ICU has good validity when compared to other functional measures in the ICU, it has been demonstrated to have good interrater reliability and has minimal floor and ceiling effect.

Measure: Physical Function

Time: Measured within 48 hours of ICU admission and again after the treatment period is completed which is an average of 6.7 days.

Description: The 5 Level EQ 5D version is a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal (Van Reenan & Janssen, 2015). It covers five dimensions; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression which are measured with one of five response options (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems). A total of 3125 possible health states is defined in this way. Each state is referred to in terms of a 5 digit code. For example, state 11111 indicates no problems on any of the 5 dimensions, while state 12345 indicates no problems with mobility, slight problems with washing or dressing, moderate problems with doing usual activities, severe pain or discomfort and extreme anxiety or depression (Reenan & Janssen, 2015, p. 9). The EQ5D-5L also includes a visual analog scale to measure health state (0-100).

Measure: Quality of Life using the EQ5D-5L (EuroQual 5 Dimensions-5 Levels). This is a health quality of life measure assessing five domains; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.

Time: Measured after the treatment period is completed (within 24 hours of discharge) which is an average of 6.7 days.

Description: Dates will be obtained from electronic medical charts. i.e. Metavision

Measure: Days of Mechanical Ventilation

Time: Measured on day 1 of mechanical ventilation through to day of extubation (cessation of mechanical ventilation), an average of 4 days.

Description: Date of hospital admission and discharge will be obtained from electronic medical chart. i.e. Sunrise Clinical Manager.

Measure: Length of Hospital Stay

Time: Up to 6 months

2 Impact of Dexmedetomidine Infusion on the Time Course and Outcomes of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in Patients Affected by the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Admitted to Critical Care Unit

A continuous infusion of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) will be administered to 80 patients admitted to Critical Care because of signs of Respiratory Insufficiency requiring non-invasive ventilation. Measurements of respiratory performance and quantification of cellular and molecular inflammatory mediators. The primary outcome will be the avoidance of mechanical ventilation with secondary outcomes duration of mechanical ventilation, avoidance of delirium after sedation and association of mediators of inflammation to outcomes. Outcomes will be compared to a matched historical control (no DEX) series

3 Biomarker-guided Assessment of Neurocognitive Impairment in Patients With COVID-19 - a Multicenter Case-control Study

Delirium and acute neurocognitive impairment are increasingly observed in adult and pediatric patients with COVID-19. Prospective clinical studies combining clinical and laboratory examinations including specific biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury were not performed for COVID-19. The value of biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury was proven in preliminary studies. These biomarkers could thus contribute to the systematic detection of neurocognitive impairment in patients with COVID-19. Due to worldwide increasing numbers of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury are highly valuable to detect and monitor cognitive impairment, especially with regard to limited resources available to perform time-consuming brain imaging. Biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury are therefore not only of great interest to detect neurocognitive impairment but also to quantify the severity of brain injury in patients with COVID-19.

4 A Practical, Pilot, Randomized, Controlled Trial of Valproate Alone or in Combination With Quetiapine for Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia With Agitated Delirium

The primary purpose of this research is to determine whether Valproate alone, and in combination with Quetiapine, lowers confusion and agitation in persons with severe Corona Virus Disease (COVID)19 pneumonia during weaning from the breathing machine (ventilator). Though Valproate and Quetiapine are often given to persons with severe confusion with agitation, the purpose of this small research study is specifically for: a) persons infected with COVID 2019 on a ventilator whose agitation is not responding to the usual medications (like dexmedetomidine), and b) to reduce the time persons are treated with dexmedetomidine, which requires continuous close monitoring in an ICU.
