SCCM Resource Library-How to Implement Delirium Screening in the PICU and What to Do With Your Results

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Sherry Simone discusses the implementation of delirium screening in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the University of Maryland Medical Center. The process began in 2013 with the formation of an interdisciplinary task force and the development of a delirium screening protocol using the Cornell assessment of pediatric delirium (CAPD) tool. The team implemented an evidence-based delirium protocol for assessment, prevention, and treatment, and conducted ongoing monitoring of screening adherence. The results showed a decrease in delirium prevalence from 28% to approximately 12% over the course of the project. Simone highlights several key strategies for successful implementation, including creating an interdisciplinary team, addressing barriers to screening, providing comprehensive education and training to staff, collecting and using data for evaluation and improvement, and integrating delirium screening into the workflow and electronic medical records. The success of the delirium screening project has also led to further improvements in delirium prevention and treatment strategies in the PICU.
