Summary

This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block—a numbing injection near nerves in the neck—can reduce delirium (sudden confusion) and improve sleep-wake cycles in intensive care patients aged 65 and older. Delirium is common in the ICU and linked to worse outcomes. The trial will compare 130 patients who receive the block with those who do not, measuring confusion levels and blood markers of the body's internal clock.
