According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society entitled "Relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers prescribing and delirium in the ICU-A secondary analysis" by Mulkey et al. and colleagues, researchers have concluded that usage of medications like Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) before admitting a person to the intensive care unit (ICU) does not affect delirium prevalence.
