0057_SHVGR_Delirium and Delirium Related Distress- Novel Strategies for Prevention and Early Intervention in the ICU and Beyond_Live
Course Description
Delirium is one of the most common acute care complication and is independently associated with many short- and long-term sequalae including increased risk of mortality, increased prevalence of dementia, and a high-prevalence of acute distress as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for patients and families. Despite these concerns, the primary practice gap is one of ineffective processes to achieve meaningfully improved outcomes. On World Delirium Awareness Day, this presentation seeks to build awareness about delirium, delirium-related distress, and novel strategies for prevention or early intervention with recommendations shared via a panel discussion between an intensivist, a critical care educator, and a nurse who had the lived experience of being a family member witnessing their loved one's distress in the Intensive Care Unit.

Learning Objectives
After attending this activity, learners should be able to:
1. Analyze current care practices that contribute to poor outcomes for patients with delirium and their family members.
2. Summarize the critical need to to implement sedation- and restraint-minimizing strategies, such as the Awake & Walking model of ICU care, to reduce the occurrence of delirium and delirium-associated distress.
3. Engage ICU patients and their family members in discussion reflective of shared decision-making as a delirium prevention/early intervention strategy.
4. Collaborate with key stakeholders on how to best facilitate improved delirium care standards across the continuum of care.

- “Untreated pain has been associated with the incidence of delirium and behavioral issues such as agitation, aggression, wandering, and refusal of care. Daoust et al. showed that untreated pain in more strongly associated with delirium than opioids.”
- “A recent meta-analysis showed that cognitively impaired hip fracture patients receive significantly less opioids. Several other factors, such as ethnicity, gender, social background, and advanced age may indeed influence pain expression. Healthcare professionals’ unconscious bias may also contribute to oligoanalgesia in the ED.”
- “Systematic changes, such as unconscious bias training, implementing validated senior-friendly pain assessment tools and protocols, dedicated multimodal analgesic strategies, including nonpharmacological approaches, may also help improve (care) in older adults.”
