A pilot trial of quetiapine for the treatment of patients with delirium

Abstract: Twenty-two Korean inpatients with delirium were administered prospectively a flexible dose of quetiapine. The delirium rating scale-revised-severity 98 (DRS-R-98) and clinical global impression scale-severity (CGI-s) scores were assessed at the time of pre- and post-treatment. The DRS-R-98 and CGI-s scores were significantly reduced by 57.3% and 55.1%, respectively. Quetiapine was effective and safe for the treatment of patients with delirium, and could be a useful alternative agent to classical antipsychotics… Show more

“…Skrobik et al [89] demonstrated that olanzapine was a safe alternative to haloperidol for delirious patients in the ICU with similar clinical improvement and less EPS. Similar results have been demonstrated in smaller, non-placebo-controlled studies with amisulpride [90], quetiapine [90,91], and risperidone [92,93]. Recently, a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy and safety of haloperidol, olanzapine, and risperidone in the treatment of delirium with 20 to 23 patients in each arm of the study [94].…”
