Concise Definitive Review for Reinitiation of Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, and Gabapentinoids in ICU Patients

CONCLUSIONS: Additional larger studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of reinitiation of select prior-to-admission NPM to prevent agitation and delirium in ICU patients. Multiple factors for NPM reinitiation should be considered, such as reason for admission, organ dysfunction, available route of administration to provide prior-to-admission NPM, concomitant additional medications for agitation and delirium, and safety of these medications for patients in the ICU.
