pEEG Monitoring Effect on Delirium, Ventilator Days, and PICS

The goal of this multi-site observational study is to compare delirium rates, days on mechanical ventilation, and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) rates in adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. The study will examine patients whose sedation and analgesia infusion titration is managed with both Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) and Processed Electroencephalography (pEEG) monitoring vs patients who receive RASS monitoring alone. The main questions are: * Compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of sedation and analgesic in patients who are ventilated reduce the average number of delirium days, measured by Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC)? * To determine when compared to RASS monitoring alone if the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS to guide the management of Intravenous (IV) sedation and analgesia in ventilated patients reduces the days a patient spends on a mechanical ventilator when compared to RASS only monitoring from retrospective data. * To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience lower doses of sedation and analgesia infusions? * To determine when compared to RASS monitoring method alone, does the use of 4 channel pEEG monitor in conjunction with RASS experience less incidence and duration of PICS?
