Video Summary
The study presented by the speaker aimed to investigate the influence of antipsychotic medications on the change in QTC interval in critically ill patients with delirium. The study included 566 patients who were randomized to receive either haloperidol, ziprasidone, or placebo. The researchers found that neither haloperidol nor ziprasidone significantly affected the QTC interval. They also found no association between antipsychotic administration and ventricular arrhythmias. The study concluded that the frequency of QTC monitoring may be excessive in such patients. Overall, the study suggests that antipsychotics do not have a significant impact on QTC intervals in critically ill patients with delirium.
