Overview
Primary Prevention
Delirium is more likely to be missed in the ICU. Physician detection rate is poor, reported sensitivity is 29%.
Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recommends daily monitoring of delirium in ICU patients to improve early diagnosis and treatment.
the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) showed highest sensitivity in a research setting, ranging from 64% to 97%. 9,12 However, in routine, daily practice the sensitivity of the CAM-ICU appeared to be much lower (47%).
CAM-ICU are that it
cannot quantify delirium severity and that it assesses
delirium at a certain moment in time,
12
whereas delirium
may fluctuate considerably over the day.
