Summary
This study tests whether phenobarbital, an older sedative, works as well as standard treatments for agitated delirium in ICU adults. About 150 participants will receive either phenobarbital or usual care. Researchers will measure how long patients stay in the ICU and hospital, and whether they need extra calming drugs.
