Outstanding presentation by Timothy Girard #MINDusa. Drugs not useful in Delirium in the ICU #ADS19Boston




The REDUCE investigators, who previously reported that prophylactic haloperidol did not affect Delirium in the ICU among high-risk ICU patients, published their findings this week regarding long-term outcomes--also not affected by haloperidol. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31246603

The body of evidence supporting the ABCDEF bundle continues to grow. Hsieh, Michelle Ng Gong, et al. reported this month that implementation of ABCDEF at Montefiore Health System was associated with reductions in Delirium in the ICU and coma. ow.ly/UXEr50uRYgH



Back to the basics: In this study published in 2001, Ely, Sharon Inouye, MD, and others found that medical ICU patients were exposed to an average of 11 risk factors for Delirium in the ICU. The majority were exposed to these 6 risk factors. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11797025

Lorazapem and haloperidol for Delirium in the ICU? Not so fast! See this excellent letter to JAMA Psychiatry from Bjørn Erik Neerland, @DrKarinNeufeld, and Slooter: "A one-size-fits-all pharmacologic treatment is unlikely to be of much use." ja.ma/2NIA91F

New systematic review and meta-analysis finds that family intervention improves outcomes for patients with delirium. Great read for anyone in the critical care & delirium field!

“This systematic review revealed limited evidence to support or refute the use of music to reduce sedation/analgesia requirements, or to reduce Delirium in the ICU in adults, and no evidence in pediatric and neonatal critically ill patients.” ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3120216…

In a recent retrospective cohort study of 6,323 ICU patients, Rood, @markvdboogaard et al., found that only the mixed subtype of Delirium in the ICU was significantly associated with 90-day mortality. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


This retrospective study found no association between circadian light and Delirium in the ICU. Does the effect of light on Delirium in the ICU warrant study in a randomized trial? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…


In this 1685-patient cluster-crossover RCT, flexible family visitation did not significantly reduce Delirium in the ICU compared with restricted visitation. ja.ma/2lCxs43
