Summary
This study tests whether a special ketone drink is safe and can help reduce confusion (delirium) in ICU patients. Delirium is common in the ICU and can lead to long-term thinking and memory problems. The study will give 40 adults either the ketone drink or a placebo to see if it lessens the severity of delirium.
