Abstract: Review question/objective - In adult intensive care unit patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal, does the use of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to benzodiazepine-based therapy decrease delirium severity more effectively than benzodiazepine-based therapy alone? The objective of the systematic review is to examine the best available evidence of the clinical effectiveness of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to benzodiazepine-based therapy versus benzodiazepine-based therapy alone, in decreasing delirium severity associated with alcohol withdrawal in adult intensive care unit patients over the age of 18 years.
