Group A received placebo mart for one week, and group B received 15 mg aripiprazole daily (dissolved in 10 cc) daily. As a criterion for assessing delirium, the Confusion Assessment methods for the ICU (CAM-ICUs) were evaluated daily for patients. At the end of the study, the trends of CAM-ICU and CAM-ICU changes on day 7 were compared between the two groups. All statistical tests were performed in two domains with a significance level of 5% using the\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21 software was used to analyze the data.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The use of aripiprazole in the studied indices was not statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). The results related to the length of stay in the ICU, showed that although the use of aripiprazole has reduced the length of hospitalization of patients in the ICU, this rate of reduction, was not significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The use of aripiprazole with the approach of reducing the risk or controlling the occurrence of delirium on patients admitted to the intensive care unit, despite creating some beneficial effects such as reducing the length of hospital stay in the ICU, cannot be clearly and significantly effective.<\/jats:p>\n
