Sponsor: University of Nebraska
Conditions: ICU Delirium, Immobility
Countries: United States
Fully two-thirds of ICU patients develop delirium, which is associated with longer stays, billions of dollars in costs globally, and 3-fold excess mortality at 6 months. Over one-half of ICU survivors suffer a functionally debilitating dementia-like illness, which appears related to delirium duration. This study will focus on applying Awakening-Breathing Coordination, Delirium Monitoring/Management \& Early Mobility (ABCDE), a program of delirium screening, prevention, and treatment developed at Vanderbilt University. Specifically, the study will implement the ABCDE program in a medical center that does not currently perform routine ICU delirium screenings and identify facilitators and barriers to program adoption; test the impact of the ABCDE program on patient outcomes, nursing quality outcomes, and system outcomes; and assess the extent to which ABCDE implementation is effective, sustainable, and conducive to dissemination into other settings.
