Prevention And Treatment of Critical Care Delirium Catherine Dudick MD FACS AtlantiCare Trauma Symposium May 20 2013 Disclosures icudelirium.org Morandi et al Int Care Med 2008;34:1907- Critical Care Delirium What is it? Why is it important? How can it be prevented/treated? Delirium Defined Morandi et al Int Care Med 2008;34:1907-15 What is delerium? Disturbance of consciousness (inattention) Acute in onset Accompanied by change in perception Generally reversible NOT dementia Generalized cognitive impairment Deterioration of previously acquired intellectual abilities Gradual in onset No clouding of consciousness Arousal AND Content Delirium Subtypes Combative Agitated Restless Hyperactive Delirium Mixed Delirium Alert & Calm Lethargic Sedated Stupor Hypoactive Delirium Prevalence in the ICU Occurs in up to 80% MICU/TICU/SICU ventilated patients 20-50% of lower severity ICU patients 65-70% goes undiagnosed if routine monitoring not done 10% remain delirious at hospital discharge Eli et al JAMA 2004;291:1753-62 Pathophysiology of Delirium Flacker, et al J Gerontol Bio Scien 1999; p47 Pathophysiology of Delirium Flacker, et al J Gerontol Bio Scien 1999; p47 Risk Factors of Delirium Medical conditions Preexisting dementia Substance intoxication or h/o HTN and/or alcholism withdrawl Toxin exposure Preexisting cognitive dysfunction severity of illness at admission Coma (independent risk factor) Benzodiazepines Age>70 years ? Propofol AAA surgery Sleep deprivation Poor functional status Combination Psychoactive medication Flynn et al JACS 2009;209:261-268 Panharepande, Anesthesiology 2006;104:21-26 Panharepande, Anesthesiology 2006;104:21-26 Panharepande, Anesthesiology 2006;104 Delirium in Pneumonia “altered mental status” strongest independent predictor of mortality in CAP (p<0.001) Relationship stronger with increasing age Waterer et al AJRCCM 2004;169:910-914 Delirium post op in SICU 100 non elective Surgical ICU patients Delirium prevalence 69% Average 4 days longer in ICU (p=0.03) Fewer days alive and vent-free (p=0.001) Midazolam was strongest modifiable predictor Pandharepande et al, SCCM 2006 ICU Delirium Increased ICU length of stay (8 vs 5 days) Increased hospital length of stay (21 vs 11 days) Increased time on ventilator (9 vs 4 days) Higher ICU costs ($22,000 vs $13,000) Higher ICU mortality (19.7% vs 10.3%) Higher hospital mortality (26.7% vs 21.4%) 3-fold increased risk of death at 6 months Ely, et al.

Especially consider sedatives Is patient on minimal amount necessary? Daily sedation cessation Targeted sedation plan Assess target daily Do sedatives need to be changed? Remember to assess for pain! Toxic Situations • CHF, shock, dehydration • New organ failure (liver/kidney) Hypoxemia Infection/sepsis (nosocomial), Immobilization Nonpharmacologic interventions • Hearing aids, glasses, reorient, sleep protocols, music, noise control, ambulation K+ or electrolyte problems Consider antipsychotics after evaluating etiology & risk factors E Early Exercise and Mobility Early Exercise and Mobility Eligibility = All patients are eligible for Early Exercise and Mobility Early Exercise in the ICU Early exercise = progressive mobility Study design: paired SAT/SBT protocol with PT/OT from earliest days of mechanical ventilation Wake Up, Breathe, and Move Schweickert WD, et al.
