Abstract

Delirium is a form of acute brain dysfunction in the critically ill that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in addition to increases in healthcare costs. Important risk factors for delirium include a patient’s underlying illness, metabolic disturbances, sedative and psychoactive medications, and underlying cognitive impairment. Vigilant monitoring and recognition are the first step in reducing the burden of delirium. The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) and the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (IDCSC) are the validated methods of diagnosing delirium in the intensive care unit. Definitive evidence of treatments to reduce the incidence or duration of delirium in the intensive care unit is limited. Protocolized care to ensure minimization of sedation and appropriate sedative selection, early ventilator liberation, adequate treatment of pain, early mobility, and proper sleep hygiene offer the best hope of reducing the incidence of delirium and its burden on healthcare and society.

This prospective cohort study of medical ICU patients found 89 % of patients developed delirium, of which a small group of patients (12 %) had delirium that abated after sedation interruption. Those with “rapidly reversible sedation-related” delirium had fewer ventilator days, ICU days, and hospital days and were also more likely to be discharged home. Those with “persistent” delirium (77 % of patients) had higher 1-year morality.

Delir bei kritisch Kranken – Antipsychotika versus Placebo

16.05.2024 Delir nicht substanzbedingt Nachrichten

Um die Langzeitfolgen eines Delirs bei kritisch Kranken zu mildern, wird vielerorts auf eine Akuttherapie mit Antipsychotika gesetzt. Eine US-amerikanische Forschungsgruppe äußert jetzt erhebliche Vorbehalte gegen dieses Vorgehen. Denn es gibt neue Daten zum Langzeiteffekt von Haloperidol bzw. Ziprasidon versus Placebo.
