What is delirium? Common clinical syndrome that is characterized by: Inattention Acute cognitive dysfunction Thought to be due to disruption of neurotransmission related to: Drug toxicity Inflammation Acute stress responses
Prevalence of Delirium in the ICU 60–80% MICU/SICU/TICU ventilated patients develop delirium  20–50% of lower severity ICU patients develop delirium Hypoactive or mixed forms most common  Majority goes undiagnosed if routine monitoring is not implemented Ouimet S, et al.

Sequelae of Delirium After Hospital Discharge During the ICU/Hospital Stay  - Increased mortality - 3x greater re-intubation rate - Average 10 additional days in hospital - Higher costs of care - Increased mortality  - Long-term cognitive impairment - d/c requirement for chronic care facility - Decreased functional status at 6 months Milbrandt EB, et al.

Important considerations Safety needs  Close monitoring Intervention based on progressive stepwise continuum: Readiness Specific disease Strategies to prevent complications Ability to tolerate the activity/movement Emotional needs Continual reassurance necessary Explain and re-explain circumstances Consider having family at bedside  Comfort needs Look for signs that analgesia or sedatives are needed
Keys to success Utilize existing personnel Nurses Respiratory Therapists Pharmacists Physicians Physical & Occupational Therapy Speech Therapy This involves a culture change Team coordination is a  MUST Reinforce the  goal  frequently : Coordination Collaboration Improvement in patient outcomes Daily team work
Conclusions Delirium is a significant problem for critically ill patients and a predictor of many negative clinical outcomes. Reliable and easy tools are available for identification of delirium in the critically ill. Processes of care are available to minimize incidence of modifiable risk factors. ABCDE can be incorporated into current practices with minimal additional resources. Some operational culture change is involved.

  • 47. Conclusions Delirium is a significant problem for critically ill patients and a predictor of many negative clinical outcomes. Reliable and easy tools are available for identification of delirium in the critically ill. Processes of care are available to minimize incidence of modifiable risk factors. ABCDE can be incorporated into current practices with minimal additional resources. Some operational culture change is involved.

Editor's Notes

  • #6: An acute brain dysfunction
  • #7: Up to 75% of delirium missed if a tool is not used…Most delirium is invisible unless you look for it
  • #11: Critical care advances have improved ICU survival rates. ICU survivors can go home with potentially preventable limitations they didn’t have before
  • #13: Not a lot of great data to describe which are highly associated with delirium Benzos are a strong association
  • #14: Ironically, our primary drug used for sedation is the strongest risk factor for developing delirium. Results: This study found 3 significant risk factors for delirium (age, apache [severity of illness], and benzos) - Lorazepam is an independent risk factor for transitioning to delirium - Risk increases with Lorazepam dose -We tend to focus on benzo b/c it’s the one thing that we can modify in our practice
  • #18: Improvements in ventilator days, ICU LOS, success of extubation, hospital LOS, etc
  • #19: CONSCIOUS SEDATION (Ability to make cognitive evaluation) A sedation goal or endpoint should be established and regularly redefined for each patient. Regular assessment and response to therapy should be systematically documented. Give examples of Insulin, Pressors and how we titrate to endpoint Grade of recommendation = C The use of a validated sedation assessment scale is recommended. Grade of recommendation = B A sedation goal or endpoint should be established and regularly redefined for each patient. Regular assessment and response to therapy should be systematically documented. Grade of recommendation = C
  • #25: &gt;70% cognitive impairment at hosp d/c, 3, &amp; 12 months SAT + SBT group had better cognitive functioning at hosp d/c, 3, &amp; 12 months Duration of delirium was a risk factor for poorer cognitive function (p=0.05)
  • #26: Investigator initiated- D-RCT, with the investigators holding the FDA IND
  • #28: Sedation with dexmedetomidine in SEDCOM was safe (for up to 28 days, which is different than the currently approved 24-hour period) Max Dose: 1.4mcgs/kg/hr
  • #29: Dex also reduces delirium compared Midaz
  • #30: Study design: Randomized controlled trial in 18-bed university hospital in Denmark Patients requiring MV &gt;24 hours Patients with high ICP on hypothermia protocol or those actively being weaned were excluded Patients randomized 1:1 Sedation group: Sedation with propofol to achieve Ramsay score of 3-4 Morphine prn for pain and Daily interruption of sedation; restart at half dose After 48 hours of propofol, transitioned to midazolam titrated to Ramsay 3-4 with daily interruption of sedation
  • #31: ICU LOS 9.7 days shorter in no sedation group (P=___) Sedation linked with longer LOS (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.05-3.23) No difference in: Accidental removal of ETT (7 vs 6; P =0.69) CT or MRI brain scans (5 vs 8; P =0.43) VAP (6 vs 7; P =0.85) Reintubation within 24 h (7 vs 11; P =0.37)
  • #34: Adapted from the popular CAM the CAM-ICU is a validated instrument available for screening delirium in the ICU population. More than 25 different terms have been used to describe the spectrum of cognitive impairment: ICU psychosis, ICU syndrome, acute confusional state, septic encephalopathy, and acute brain failure. This model is based from DSM IV definition of delirium. Delirium is a disturbance of consciousness with inattention accompanied by a change in cognition or perceptual disturbance that develops during a short period and fluctuates over time. We as healthcare professionals need to use standardized terms and definitions when speaking about delirium.
  • #36: Reorientation and cognitive stimulation: reorient, calm, and cognitively stimulate patients by conveying the day, date, place, and reason for hospitalization, updating whiteboards with caregiver names, requesting placement of a clock and calendar in the room, and discussing current events, family and friends Hearing aids and/or eye glasses: Determine need for these sensory aids from the surrogate and request that the surrogate provide these whenever possible Pain management: Monitor all patients with a validated pain assessment scale and treat pain Sleep preservation: maintain good sleep hygiene via noise reduction strategies (white noise, earplugs), normal day-night variation in illumination, minimize interruptions during normal sleeping hours via “time out” strategy, maintaining ventilator synchrony, promoting comfort and relaxation (back care, massage, oral care, washing face/hands, and daytime bath) Being a tight titrator, only give what you need to give
  • #38: The Modifying the INcidence of Delirium (MIND) Randomized and double blind Multisite - 6 centers 103 MV patients PO/IM delivery of study drug Doses: haloperidol = 5-20mg; ziprasidone 40-160mg
  • #42: Assessors blinded to treatment assignment Daily awakening standard
  • #44: These milestones occurred in the intervention group an average of three days earlier compared with the control group
  • #46: This protocol can be applied to all patients and be adjusted as appropriate per patient. Requires team coordination. Protocol is titrated as appropriate to each patient. The more intense for the more appropriate Crazy ARDS that need paralyzed-still at least get evaluated with ABCDE but won’t get interventions Walky talkies are on the success side All portions have a safety and intensity screen and reviewed for protocol daily.
