The 2018 clinical practice guidelines for Pain, Agitation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption (PADIS) recommend that all ADULT ICU patients be regularly (i.e. once per shift) assessed for delirium using either: The Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).

The ICDSC and the CAM-ICU, are the most well studied and widely implemented adult ICU delirium screening tools worldwide (8, 15) and are the two delirium screening tools recommended by recently updated clinical practice guidelines. These tools are described and contrasted below. Delirium Screening Tools in the Adult ICU

Delirium is a debilitating form of brain dysfunction frequently encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, longer lengths of stay, higher hospital costs, and cognitive impairment that persists long after hospital discharge.

It is common for patients who are critically ill to experience delirium, usually called ICU delirium. This information sheet will explain what it is, what causes it, and what might help patients with delirium. What is delirium? Are there different types of ICU delirium? Why does delirium develop? What can I do to help the patient with delirium?

The 4AT is a validated rapid assessment test for delirium and cognitive impairment. It is widely used in routine clinical practice in the UK and internationally. The CAM-ICU is a delirium monitoring instrument for ICU patients.

2022年7月18日 · CAM-ICU is a bedside test to detect delirium among ICU patients. It is often used in clinical research. It has become popular to test CAM-ICU routinely for ICU patients. However, there is no solid evidence that this improves outcomes. Application of the CAM-ICU test several times a day represents a significant workload for the bedside nurse.

ICU Pain, Agitation, and Delirium (PAD) guidelines recommend two tests for the assessment of delirium in adult ICU patients: The Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)

2024年6月22日 · Early detection and treatment of delirium in critically ill patients is important for improving ICU outcomes. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) is a valid and reliable tool for detecting ICU delirium [7].

NIH-funded observational study examining EEG signatures of ICU delirium and post-ICU cognitive impairment. An ongoing comprehensive long-term cognitive impairment study after traumatic injury and critical illness. Industry-funded multicenter randomized controlled trial of inhaled isoflurane compared to intravenous propofol for sedation in the ICU.

2009年9月8日 · The CAM-ICU test (Table 3) is derived from the confusion assessment method, and is designed to be used with patients receiving ventilator support. It has a high sensitivity (93–100%) and specificity (89–100%).
