Insulin-like growth factor 1 and delirium

The paper by Morandi et al. (2011), entitled “Insulin-like growth factor-1 and delirium in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients: a preliminary investigation,” is of great interest due to its lack of finding a correlation between serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IFG-1) and delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Ventilated Patients

Conducting clinical research on subjects admitted to intensive care units is challenging, as they frequently lack the capacity to provide informed consent due to multiple factors including intensive care unit acquired delirium, coma, the need for sedation, or underlying critical illness. However, the presence of one or more of these characteristics does not automatically designate a potential subject as lacking capacity to provide their own informed consent. We review the ethical issues involved in obtaining informed consent for medical research from mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients, in addition to the concerns that may arise when a legally authorized representative is asked to provide informed consent on behalf of these patients.
