Abstract
Hospitalized patients receiving haloperidol or ziprasidone for delirium while in intensive care experienced no increased risk of QTc interval prolongation relative to placebo, a secondary analysis of a randomized trial has found. None of the small number of cardiac events experienced by patients receiving one of the antipsychotics were determined to be associated with study drug administration.
