Delirium State of the Science in the Nursing Literature

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion highlights the prevalence and impact of delirium in ICU settings, emphasizing its significant costs and implications on patient health, such as increased mortality rates and longer hospital stays. Current strategies focus on prevention, as effective treatments are lacking. Notable study findings include the negative impact of frequent neuro exams on delirium occurrence and the benefits of non-pharmacological interventions like music therapy and environmental adjustments. Additionally, the use of ICDSC over the CAM-ICU screening tool may better predict patient outcomes. Recommendations stress the importance of multifaceted approaches, including exercise, family involvement, and structured protocols to mitigate delirium.
