Current and Future Measurement of Delirium in NCC: Pitfalls & Positives of Using CAM-ICU and FMSE
DescriptionDelirium is a condition that occurs commonly among critically ill stroke patients. Those who experience an episode of delirium have worse outcomes than their non-delirious counterparts. Accurate, reliable, and easily applicable delirium screening tools are required to address this complication. Until recently, minimal attention has been given to measuring delirium among critically ill stroke and neurocritical care patients. The Fluctuating Mental Status Evaluation (FMSE) has been developed specifically for patients with neurologic injury. Other more widely used tools such as the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU), 4AT, and Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) have mixed evidence for their use in a neurocritical care population. This talk will discuss the psychometrics of delirium screening tools considering DSM-V or ICD-10 criteria. The interplay between delirium and coma, sedation, and aphasia are important considerations for clinicians and researchers to incorporate into their practice. This talk will enable participants to be able to discuss special considerations for measurement of delirium among patients with acute neurologic injury.
