1 Delirium in Critical Care. Recognition, Management, Research tasters Dr Valerie Page Watford General Hospital

2 What does it look like?

3 Diagnosing delirium

4 CAM-ICU

5 CAM-ICU Feature 1: Acute onset of mental status changes, or Fluctuating course. AND Feature 2: Inattention Squeezing hand correctly on 4 As in a 10 letter sequence AND Feature 3: Disorganised thinking; 4 simple questions, one command OR Feature 4: Altered level of consciousness

6 Delirium Screening Checklist 1) Altered level of consciousness 2) Inattention 3) Disorientation 4) Hallucinations or delusions 5) Psychomotor agitation or retardation 6) Inappropriate speech or mood 7) Sleep/wake cycle disturbance 8) Symptom fluctuation

7 Months backward test Used to assess focus and sustained attention & Central processing speed Sensitivity for delirium 83% - 93% Explain clearly to subject Different positive test results quoted Meagher et al World Journal of Psychiatry 2015

8 Delirium or Depression? The symptoms of delirium, when they are present, are prominent and take diagnostic precedence as delirium frequently indicates serious and urgent physical pathology or morbidity. Because of their clinical overlap, in a hospital setting, clinicians should not rule out delirium in any patient withsuspected depression Take home messages: O Sullivan et al Lancet Psychiatry 2014

9 Delirium or Depression? Overlapping features Affective changes Sleep disturbance Underactivity or lethargy Apathy Agitation Impaired speed of information processing Delusions or hallucinations Impaired memory

10 Delirium Prominent features Fluctuation in intensity of symptoms Acute onset Altered consciousness Marked inattention Underlying physical cause Disorientation Disorganised thinking Poor comprehension

11 Management of Delirium I Treat cause(s)

12 Management of Delirium II Non-pharmacological Orientation Visual and Hearing aids Mobilisation Promote sleep Attention to bowels Reduce medical restraints Reduce anticholinergic drug load Sedation protocol

13 HELP?

17 Reduce the drug burden

18 1.5 year prospective QI (before/after) study of 296 ICU patients. Balas M, CCM 2014 epub

19 Watford first 2 days Average number of RASS per shift 3.56 Number of RASS -1 to +1 = 18.7% In 28.3% of patients No correlation with APACHE

20 Sedation survey Survey Monkey Critical care network leads Nurses February responses

21 Q1: How long have you worked as an intensive care nurse? Answered: 127 Skipped: 0

22 Q2: What sort of ICU do you work in? Answered: 127 Skipped: 0

23 Q3: In your opinion, (choose a point on this scale), how important is it to maintain light sedation (awake or easily aroused) in ventilated patients?

24 Q4: If a patient becomes agitated, do you feel you would usually be able to tell the most likely cause, pain, related to delirium or anxiety/fear?

25 Q5: If you believe agitation is due to pain, how confident would you be in giving a prn (as required) bolus of analgesia (fentanyl or morphine) without referring to a doctor?

26 Q6: If you believe a patient's agitation is related to delirium, how confident would you feel in giving a dose of haloperidol (already prescribed), without referring to a doctor first? (Assume no contraindications)

27 Q7: If you believe an agitated patient is anxious and frightened, how confident would you feel in giving a 1mg dose of midazolam (already prescribed), without asking a doctor first?

28 Q8: If it were entirely up to you, would you take part in a trial of nurse-led sedation?

41 Friends and Family

42 Only use antipsychotics if needed for agitation Talk to patients and relatives about delirium Use months of the year backwards to screen for delirium in extubated patients Are the patients in your hospital able to tell what time it is?
