Delirium: Assess, Prevent and Manage Monitoring Delirium in the ICU The 2018 clinical practice guidelines for Pain, Agitation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption (PADIS) recommend that all ADULT ICU patients be regularly (i.e. once per shift) assessed for delirium using either: The Confusion Assessment method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) or The Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).

Read More Implementation Resources Spot Checking The following two implementation studies utilized a variety of strategies including didactic education (online and in person) and spot-checking. Spot-checking is incredibly helpful method for identifying misunderstandings about the CAM-ICU and areas that need further clarification and teaching. What is spot-checking. This can be done in a variety of ways, but typically a couple nurses (charge nurses, nurse educators, staff nurses who are looking for a clinical ladder project, etc) become very familiar with the CAM-ICU (local experts). Periodically (once a week, once a month, etc) they do delirium rounds on the unit going from bed to bed spot-checking the staff nurses. The spot-checker and the bedside nurse assess a patient together using the CAM-ICU. They walk outside the room and compare assessments. The bedside nurse explains how the patient did on each feature. This provides one-on-one education to help fill education gaps. Spot-Checking could also be used for the ICDSC. An example spot-check form Case-Based Scenarios The study below included before-and-after case-based scenarios which increased both the usage a delirium screening tool (i.e., ICDSC) and accuracy of assessment.

Documentation The first step is to decide where the CAM-ICU assessment results will be documented. We recommend documenting the CAM-ICU in the hourly portion of the nursing flowsheet. Most institutions document the overall CAM-ICU score and not the individual features. However, if you have room, the individual feature documentation can help with compliance and accuracy of the overall assessment and provide excellent data for chart review when trying to identifying weaknesses in the assessment. Once you have decided where to document the CAM-ICU findings, the next step is to identify how CAM-ICU findings will be documented. We recommend picking language that your staff best understands. Anyway, I was the only one from my hospital and from the whole stat, that attended, and on my own time and money. I left there so so so excited and when I returned home, I couldn't get anyone of influence to listen. I went to an administration level QI RN that I respected and shared my information. She knew of Dr. Ely's name and said he'd come to Milwaukee to talk some years prior, but no forward motion had ever been made about assessing and treating for delirium. I brought the information to my manager and wanted to spearhead a whole new campaign and she was not interested. I kept bringing information to my practice council, at each meeting, and telling individual nurse after individual nurse about how we could assess for delirium, shorten it's duration, and even prevent worsening delirium. I would tell anyone that would listen about early mobility and how awesome it is and I would even show the video clips you sent in the email. That was the sound of huge metal doors closing on any chance. So, I just kept using the knowledge I gained and assessed for delirium, brought it to my doctors' attention whenever needed and kept sharing all the information that I could with my peers along the way. I even created my own little card to put behind my badge (you guys should make a card like that, too), that has the CAM-ICU assessment scale on it and I would use it and share it with my co-workers and then just annotate the information right alongside my assessment in the charting. Well, I finally just left that hospital and transferred inside the system to another hospital in the area. On my very first day, the educator for this new hospital was giving me a tour and as they had just completed their required skills days for the nursing staff, there were several posters still up in one of their meeting rooms. And guess what!?! They had a big bright poster about delirium and early mobility and the ABCDE bundle. The educator asked if I had heard of delirium and I don't think I have ever smiled that big in my life. On my very first day there, I have now joined their practice council and am on their committee regarding delirium. I can't wait!!! It may have taken 2 years, but I can now use the knowledge that I was so grateful to receive at your conference. Now, I just get the opportunity to really use that knowledge on a much bigger scale and once again, I must thank you!!!

We have obtained copyright for the CAM-ICU and its educational materials and have deliberately made it unrestricted in terms of use.

RN, Center of Excellence in Critical and Complex Care, The Ohio State University of NursingDelirium can be classified as either hypoactive (characterized by lethargy and less bodily movement), hyperactive (characterized by agitation and combativeness), or mixed (vacillating between hypo- and hyper- active forms). Delirium is associated with negative clinical outcomes (i.e., increased hospital length of stay, medical complications, physical restraint use, and prolonged neurocognitive deficits). Assessment of delirium using a clinically valid and reliable tool provides neurocognitive data necessary for the development of an appropriate treatment plan. One evidence-based, multi-component, interprofessional method of improving delirium assessment, prevention, and management of delirium is the ABCDEF Bundle. The CAM-ICU is an adaptation of the Confusion Assessment Method by Inouye (1990), the most widely used instrument for diagnosing delirium by internists and non-psychiatric clinicians. The CAM-ICU is one of two monitoring tools recommended by the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adults Patients in the ICU. A brief version for screening delirium is being tested for use in the Emergency Department. The Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist is an alternative method for delirium screening recommended by the Society of Critical Care Medicine. Other instruments that have been validated for screening for delirium in settings outside the ICU include the original CAM, the Delirium Rating Scale, the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale, and the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale. The CAM-ICU can also be accessed via MDCALC app. Critical Care Medicine, 42(5), 1024. Critical Care Medicine, 45(2), 171-178. Critical Care Medicine, 41(1), 263-306.

Results Over the past decade, tools specifically designed for use in critically ill adults and children have been developed and validated. Delirium screening has been effectively implemented across many ICUs settings. Keys to effective implementation include addressing barriers to routine screening, multi-faceted training such as lectures, case-based scenarios, one-on-one teaching and real-time feedback of delirium screening and interdisciplinary communication through discussion of a patient’s delirium status during bedside rounds and through documentation systems. If delirium is present clinicians should search for reversible or treatable causes since it is often multifactorial. Conclusion Implementation of effective delirium screening is feasible but requires attention to implementation methods, including a change in the current ICU culture that believes delirium is inevitable or a normal part of a critical illness, to a future culture that views delirium as a dangerous syndrome which portends poor clinical outcomes and which is potentially modifiable depending on the individual patients circumstances. Keywords: delirium, implementation, CAM-ICU, Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, monitoring, intensive care, nursing, quality improvement, process improvement “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right.” Thomas Paine, Common Sense Introduction Delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) is common. Despite a high prevalence, delirium is commonly overlooked, and as the quote above alludes, we too often accept it as having a “rightful place” in our patients’ clinical course, when in fact it is harbinger of danger in most circumstances. As with most clinical instruments, these tools are not without controversy and the diagnostic criteria for delirium continue to evolve with updates to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (with DSM V coming soon) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).( 34, 35 ) Importantly, both of these updated delirium classification instruments upheld inattention (not hallucinations or delusions) as the cardinal feature of delirium across patient types.( 36 ) This take-home message represents a key lesson for clinicians who often misunderstand what constitutes the presence of delirium. As our understanding of delirium grows, delirium screening tools will likely evolve to keep pace with growing knowledge.( 37 ) Nonetheless, despite current tools’ imperfections, the brain dysfunction that they detect has been repeatedly and independently associated with numerous poor outcomes that dramatically alter the lives of patients being treated in ICUs across the world today. This manuscript, written by members of the team who developed the CAM-ICU and who, importantly, are very supportive of and often teach the ICDSC as well, will serve as a guide to those interested in implementing (or improving) delirium monitoring in their ICU. We will briefly describe and compare screening tools available for detecting delirium in critically ill adults. We then will use an overview of the literature and our own experience in assisting others with delirium screening implementation in ICUs worldwide to discuss methods for effective implementation of delirium screening in an ICU. Finally, we explore common pitfalls encountered during delirium screening and provide guidance on delirium prevention and management. The ICDSC( 7 ) and the CAM-ICU( 1 ), are the most well studied and widely implemented adult ICU delirium screening tools worldwide ( 8, 15 ) and are the two delirium screening tools recommended by recently updated clinical practice guidelines.( 31 ) These tools are described and contrasted below. Delirium Screening Tools in the Adult ICU The two components of consciousness are “arousal” and “content.” Arousal of consciousness is synonymous to level of consciousness. This should be part of any standard neurological exam, not just for patients receiving sedatives. Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) The CAM-ICU is modified from the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) ( 2, 42, 43 ) and assesses four features: 1) Acute change or fluctuation in mental status from baseline, 2) inattention, 3) altered level of consciousness and 4) disorganized thinking.( 1, 42 ) The CAM-ICU is positive, and the patient is considered to have delirium, if Features 1 and 2 and either Feature 3 or 4 is present. Each feature relies on components considered to be standard neurologic assessments and provides objective evaluation of each. Figure 1 provides an outline of how each feature is assessed. As shown in this figure, the CAM-ICU is logically ordered to allow for early stoppage, therefore increasing its efficiency in the clinical setting. Similarly, evaluation of disorganized thinking (Feature 4) is only needed when the patient is positive for Features 1 and 2 (i.e., not at mental status baseline or fluctuating and inattentive), but negative for Feature 3 (i.e., alert and calm). All other times, Feature 4 assessment is not required. While a more in-depth description of performing the CAM-ICU as well the CAM-ICU training manual is available at www.icudelirium.org, some additional salient tips can be found in Table 1. Open in a separate window Figure 1 The Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). The CAM-ICU assesses for the four features of delirium: Feature 1 is an acute change in mental status or a fluctuating mental status, Feature 2, is inattention, Feature 3, is altered level of consciousness and Feature 4, is disorganized thinking. A patient screens positive for delirium if Features 1 and 2 and either Feature 3 or Feature 4 are present. See text for additional details of how to perform the CAM-ICU. Table 1 Tips for Assessing Inattention (Feature 2) using the CAM-ICU Auditory attention test (sufficient to determine inattention in most patients). This includes patients who squeeze on no letters, those who squeeze on every letter, and those who stop squeezing after a few letters. Key symptoms of delirium can be part of a focused evaluation from the bedside clinician. Presence of any symptoms noted during an initial focused evaluation can immediately be scored on the ICDSC. The patient can subsequently be observed and scored for additional symptoms that manifest or fluctuate during the remainder of the specified time period. Without objective criteria, there could be variation in how symptoms are identified in intubated patients. See Table 2 for suggestions on how to assess delirium symptoms in this special population using the ICDSC.Modified from Devlin, et al., Combined didactic and scenario-based education improves the ability of intensive care unit staff to recognize delirium at the bedside. Crit Care 2008;12(1):R19. Efficacy of Delirium Screening Tools in Adults Two recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses reviewed the psychometric properties of both the CAM-ICU and ICDSC and the reader is referred to these for a broader discussion of these properties of these tools. ( 44, 45 ) Briefly, the CAM-ICU’s pooled sensitivity was 76 and 80, respectively, and pooled specificity was 96 in both studies. The pooled sensitivity for the ICDSC was 74 and 80 and the pooled specificity was 75 and 82. Five studies ( Table 3 ) have evaluated the ICDSC against DSM reference raters.( 7, 46, 47, 52, 53 ) All studies enrolled in mixed ICUs and included 465 patients, both ventilated and non-ventilated.ICDSC, Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist. This limitation can be addressed by increasing assessment frequency (e.g., every 4 to 12 hours) and with changes in the patient’s mental status. Conversely, the longer assessment period of the ICDSC may lead to increased false positive screens for delirium if a patient exhibited signs of delirium in the last 24 hours, but currently exhibits no signs. The second clinical difference is how each tool identifies delirium symptoms. The CAM-ICU uses specifically defined and validated measures requiring interaction with the patient to determine the presence or absence of each delirium feature, providing a reproducible measure. A potential disadvantage is that the diagnostic performance may be dependent on patient characteristics such as age, premorbid cognition, and severity of illness. Nevertheless, Ely et al.For this reason, the ICDSC relies more upon clinical experience. Three delirium screening tools have been developed to address the specific needs of the pediatric population. The Pediatric Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (pCAM-ICU) modified the CAM-ICU for detecting delirium in children aged 5 and greater. The pCAM-ICU includes age-appropriate content for children over the age of five such as kid-friendly, boldly colored visual attention pictures and questions such as, “Is ice cream hot?” ( 57, 58 ) The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) was originally developed to detect emergence delirium but subsequently applied to the pediatric ICU. The p-CAM was studied in 68 children treated in a mixed pediatric ICU (PICU).( 57 ) The PAED was studied in two studies, consisting of 232 critically ill children in two mixed PICUs and the CAP-D was evaluated in 50 critically ill children in a single mixed PICU.( 59, 60 ) All three studies enrolled ventilated and non-ventilated patients.PAED, Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale. CAP-D, Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium. Emergency Departments Another area of emerging importance is the issue of monitoring severely ill patients in environments where there is very little time and even fewer personnel trained in psychiatry and geriatrics, such as the Emergency Department. Since the available general delirium screening tools generally take 10 to 15 minutes or longer, emergency physicians miss delirium in up to 75 of cases.( 62 ) The ED is a dynamic and high-throughput environment, where clinicians take care of multiple patients at once and have limited amount of time to spend with each patient.( 63 ) Consequently, prolonged delirium assessments are not feasible for use the ED or other similar fast-paced patient care settings. Therefore, we have recently modified the CAM-ICU into a tool called the Brief Confusion Assessment Method (B-CAM), which asks the patient to recite the months backwards from December to July, rather than perform the attention screening tests used in the CAM-ICU, with more than 1 error indicating delirium. Implementing Delirium Monitoring Tools Despite the differences between the CAM-ICU and the ICDSC, the key to widespread delirium detection, prevention, and treatment is implementation and routine use of any of the validated delirium screening tools. Table 5 Tips for implementing delirium screening in the ICU These “delirium champions” (e.g., physicians, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physical and occupational therapists) will become local delirium experts champion the cause of delirium screening and serve as resources throughout the implementation process. Involve ICU leadership, get their buy-in and to help in “selling” change on rounds and in all forms of interdisciplinary interactions Choose a validated delirium screening tool The CAM-ICU and ICDSC are recommended by expert guidelines and are the most well-validated and widely used delirium screening tools worldwide. Identify and address barriers to delirium screening in your ICU The most commonly cited barriers include perceived difficulty using a delirium screening tool, concern about assessing delirium in sedated and intubated patients, and time constraints. These barriers are overcome with ongoing education and training of delirium screening tools. Use a multi-faceted approach to train clinicians to screen for delirium Effective strategies include: Didactic instruction, training videos or online resources about delirium, its symptoms adverse outcomes associated with the syndrome, and how to use the screening tool. Case-based scenarios to reinforce concepts learned during didactic sessions. Utilize additional educational materials including pocket cards, posters and flyers. One-on-one teaching by the delirium champions Unit-wide metrics regarding compliance and accuracy Provide follow-up training Involvement and engagement with front-line personnel with continual feedback (and reinforcement) will help maintain a high degree of motivation Utilize monthly staff meetings to reinforce delirium screening concepts, address concerns and provide additional education Train new staff members at orientation and provide refresher training to current staff Incorporate the delirium screen into daily interdisciplinary bedside rounds Communication amongst interdisciplinary staff is key Have “the talk”: Utilize bedside nursing presentation of the Brain Roadmap or other communication frameworks to rapidly report the patient’s level of consciousness and delirium status. Incorporate results of the delirium screen into documentation systems Incorporation of these results reminds clinicians to complete the screen, facilitates communication across shifts, and makes the delirium status part of the medical record. Utilize “Small Tests of Change” and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycles Remember that small changes can make a big difference. Ask: ”What are we trying to accomplish?” ”How will we know that a change is an improvement?” ”What changes can we make that will result in improvement?” ICDSC, Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist. Pun and colleagues performed multi-center implementation of level of consciousness (RASS) and delirium monitoring (CAM-ICU).( 70 ) Nurses participated in 20-minute long, unit-wide in-services detailing the RASS and the CAM-ICU that incorporated pocket references and case studies. Overall, the bedside nurses had very high agreement with the reference raters in both ICUs. Identifying and addressing key barriers to delirium screening prior to beginning the implementation process can further enhance implementation process.
