1 Delirium in Critically Ill Mechanically Ventilated Patients Enrolled in the SLEAP Multicenter Randomized Trial Geeta Mehta MD, FRCPC And The SLEAP Investigators For the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group CCCF October 31, 2012

2 Disclosures I have no disclosures Funding: Canadian Institutes of Health Research

3 Background Delirium is common in critically ill patients Delirium is associated with worse outcomes Prolonged durations of MV, and lengths of stay Patient and ICU risk factors Sedation minimization may reduce delirium

4 SLEAP - Sedation Lightening and Evaluation of A Protocol All patients managed with an RN driven analgesia/sedation protocol randomized Daily interruption Sedation/analgesia No daily interruption

5 Eligibility Inclusion criteria 18 years MV and anticipated need for MV 48 hours ICU team has decided to initiate continuous opioid and/or benzodiazepine infusion(s) Exclusion criteria Admission after cardiac arrest Traumatic Brain Injury Receiving Neuromuscular blockers Withdrawal or limitation of life support Previous enrolment in SLEAP Enrolment in confounding trial Lack of informed consent

6 Primary Outcome Duration of MV: from intubation to extubation or tracheostomy mask, for 48 hours Secondary outcomes Delirium Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist

7 Both groups Nurse-implemented algorithm for management of analgesia and sedation Analgesia: morphine, fentanyl or hydromorphone Sedation: midazolam or lorazepam Sedation Scale: SAS or RASS Ventilator Weaning protocol

10 Sedation-agitation scale 7 Dangerous Pulling ET, trying to remove catheters, climbing bed agitation rail, striking staff, thrashing 6 Very agitated Not calm, despite verbal reminding; requires physical restraints, biting ET tube 5 Agitated Mildly agitated, attempting to sit up, calms with verbal instructions 4 Calm and cooperative Calm, awakens easily, follows commands 3 Sedated Difficult to arouse, awakens to verbal stimuli or gentle shaking but drifts off again, follows simple commands 2 Very sedated Arouses to physical stimuli but does not communicate nor follow commands, may move spontaneously 1 Unarousable Minimal or no response to noxious stimuli, does not communicate nor follow commands Riker RR et al. Crit Care Med 1999;27:1325

11 Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale +4 Combative Overtly combative, violent, immediate danger to staff +3 Very agitated Pulls or removes tube(s) or catheter(s); aggressive +2 Agitated Frequent non-purposeful movement, fights ventilator +1 Restless Anxious but movements not aggressive, vigorous 0 Alert and Calm Difficult to arouse, awakens to verbal stimuli or gentle shaking but drifts off again, follows simple commands -1 Drowsy Not fully alert, but has sustained awakening (eyeopening/eye contact) to voice ( 10 seconds) -2 Light Sedation Briefly awakens with eye contact to voice (< 10 seconds) -3 Moderate Sedation Movement or eye opening to voice (but no eye contact) -4 Deep Sedation No response to voice, but movement or eye opening to physical stimulation -5 Unarousable No response to voice or physical stimulation Sessler CN et al. AJRCCM 2002;166:1338

12 Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist Altered level of consciousness (A-E) If A or B do not complete patient evaluation for the period Inattention Disorientation Hallucination - delusion psychosis Psychomotor agitation or retardation Inappropriate speech or mood Sleep/wake cycle disturbance Symptom fluctuation TOTAL SCORE (0-8) Bergeron et al. ICM 2001;27:859

13 1. Altered level of consciousness: A) No response B) Need for vigorous stimulation to obtain any response signifies severe alteration in LOC precluding evaluation If coma (A) or stupor (B) most of the time period there is no further evaluation during that period. C) Drowsiness or requirement of a mild to moderate stimulation for a response implies an altered level of consciousness and scores 1 point. D) Wakefulness or sleeping state, easily aroused is considered normal and scores no point. E) Hypervigilance is rated as an abnormal level of consciousness and scores 1 point. Only proceed to questions #2-8 if the patient is a score of C, D, or E. 2. Inattention: Difficulty in following a conversation or instructions. Easily distracted by external stimuli. Difficulty in shifting focuses. 3. Disorientation: Any obvious mistake in time, place or person. 4. Hallucination, delusion or psychosis: Unequivocal clinical manifestation of hallucination or of behaviour probably due to hallucination (e.g. trying to catch non-existent object) or delusion. Gross impairment in reality testing. 5. Psychomotor agitation or retardation: Hyperactivity requiring the use of additional sedative drugs or restraints in order to control potential danger to oneself or others (e.g. pulling out iv lines, hitting staff). Hypo-activity or clinically noticeable psychomotor slowing. 6. Inappropriate speech or mood: Inappropriate, disorganised or incoherent speech. Inappropriate display of emotion related to events or situation. 7. Sleep/wake cycle disturbance: Sleeping <4 hours or waking frequently at night. Sleeping during most of the day. 8. Symptom fluctuation: Fluctuation of the manifestation of any item or symptom over 24 hours

14 Daily interruption group Bedside nurses interrupted opioid and benzodiazepine infusions daily Assessed hourly for wakefulness: SAS 4-7 (RASS -1 to +4) and able to perform at least 3 of: 1) eye opening 2) tracking 3) hand squeezing 4) toe moving If infusions no longer required (patient free of discomfort and agitation, SAS 2-5, or RASS -4 to +1), oral or bolus IV therapy used If infusions required, resumed at half prior dose(s), titrated to achieve target level of light sedation
