0062_SHSO_PAD Liberation- Pain, Agitation & Delirium Assessment, Prevention & Early Intervention_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.
Further, the relationships between pain, agitation, sleep deprivation, and delirium are complex, multidirectional and mediated by many factors including the use of opioid analgesia, use of sedating medications, and other common standards of care. Individuals with delirium often have an impaired ability to self-report pain due to reduced awareness or attention which is concerning because pain is a known risk factor for delirium. Similarly, sleep deprivation is a known risk factor for delirium incidence and increased severity and is also associated with reduced pain tolerance, a relationship thought to be mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. These complex interrelationships of delirium precipitants provide the strongest rationale for multi-component intervention strategies with non-pharmacological approaches being the first line for intervention.
This presentation is designed for collaborative interprofessional care teams across the continuum of care seeking to expand the team's knowledge about delirium, the complex interrelationship between associated risk factors and current standards of care, as well as short- and long-term sequalae associated with delirium. It is further designed to build competency in assessment, prevention, and early intervention strategies that are reflective of collaborative practice and shared decision-making with the patients and families receiving care.
Target Audience
Nurse, Registered (RN)
Physicians (MD or DO)

Learning Objectives
After attending this course, 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. Demonstrate competency in the ability to assess patients for delirium and risk factors for delirium as well as implement prevention and early intervention strategies of mitigation.
