Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Karriem Watson discusses the importance of identifying and managing pediatric delirium. She explains that pediatric delirium is highly prevalent and has short-term and potentially long-term negative consequences. She discusses the risk factors for delirium and emphasizes the need for screening using validated tools throughout a child's stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Dr. Watson describes two validated tools, the Pediatric Confusion Assessment Method (PCAM/PSCAM) and the Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium (CAPD), and explains how they are used to assess delirium in pediatric patients. She also highlights the importance of engaging stakeholders, educating staff, and creating systems that facilitate the workflow when implementing delirium screening in the PICU. She concludes by sharing the success story of improving delirium assessments at Vanderbilt University Medical Center through EMR changes and educational interventions.
