Sedation in the intensive care setting (2012, neutral): “The presence of delirium, therefore, should be assessed using validated instruments such as the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist or the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU as part of the routine neurological examination of critically ill patients.(37,38)”
The checklist--a tool for error management and performance improvement. (2006, background): “Of the patients included in this study, 93% of patients having developed delirium obtained a significantly high score on the screening checklist, whereas only 19% of patients having not developed delirium had similar scores (sensitivity, 99%; specificity, 64%) [27].”
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit (2013, methodology): “Delirium is a syndrome characterized by the acute onset of cerebral dysfunction with a change or fluctuation in baseline mental status, inattention, and either disorganized thinking or an altered level of consciousness (307-313).”
Incidence, risk factors and consequences of ICU delirium (2006, methodology): “Moreover, the ICDSC study included patients with neurological or psychiatric diagnoses, or abnormal consciousness on admission, and thus incorporated many patients who were excluded in substantiating the CAM-ICU [22].”
