Pharmacologic Treatment of Refractory ICU Delirium
Back to course
Asset Caption
Delirium is common in many critically ill patients and is associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU and hospital lengths of stay, and long-term cognitive impairment. Patients may be refractory to multiple standard treatment modalities requiring alterative pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment regimens. There are many research gaps in this area, and this session will help provide insight into multifaceted management strategies for refractory ICU delirium.
