Video Summary

Debbie Long, an Australian nurse with a background in pediatrics, discusses the assessment, management, and prevention of delirium in children. She highlights that delirium is avoidable and treatable, but often goes undetected, especially in hypoactive subtype. She emphasizes the importance of using validated assessment tools, such as the Pediatric and Preschool Confusion Assessment Method in the ICU (CAM-ICU) and the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD), to screen for delirium regularly in pediatric units. Long also stresses the need for a bundled approach, including non-pharmacological interventions, such as noise reduction and early mobility, as well as sedation stewardship. She emphasizes the importance of educating both staff and parents about delirium and its impact, and the need for constant training and updates due to staff turnover and changing evidence. Long encourages healthcare professionals to reach out for support and resources in implementing delirium prevention strategies.
