Defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM)-IV
Disturbance of consciousness and cognition that develops over short period of time (hours to days) and fluctuates over time.
Three subtypes of delirium: hyperactive, hypoactive, and mixed
![Page 3: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hypoactive delirium-decreased responsiveness, withdrawal, apathy.
Hyperactive delirium-agitation, restlessness, and emotional lability.
Mixed.
![Page 4: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prevalence of delirium in ICU was 32.3%. Incidence of delirium in ICU ranges from
45% to 87%. Incidence appears to vary according to
mechanically ventilated patients. 20% in nonintubated ICU patients 83% in mechanically ventilated patients.
Epidemiology
![Page 5: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hyperactive delirium rare (1.6%). Hypoactive delirium-43.5% Mixed delirium-54.1% Hypoactive delirium more frequently in
older patients and has worse prognosis. Prolonged periods of ICU delirium
associated with increased risk for long-term cognitive impairment at 3 months.

Poorly understood.1. Neurotransmitter imbalance Imbalances in synthesis, release, and inactivation of
neurotransmitters that normally control cognitive function, behavior, and mood.
Greatest focus given to dopamine and acetylcholine. Imbalance in one or both results in neuronal
instability and unpredictable neurotransmission. Excess of dopamine or depletion of acetylcholine. Other neurotransmitters- γ- aminobutyric acid
(GABA), serotonin, endorphins, glutamate
Pathophysiology
![Page 7: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. Inflammation Inflammatory abnormalities induced by
endotoxin and cytokines probably contributes Tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1,other
cytokines and chemokines initiate cascade of endothelial damage, thrombin formation, and microvascular compromise
May incite brain dysfunction by decreasing cerebral blood flow via formation of microaggregates of fibrin, platelets, neutrophils, and erythrocytes in cerebral microvasculature.
![Page 8: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Constricting cerebral vasculature-activation of α1-adrenoceptors
Interfering with neurotransmitter synthesis and neurotransmission
Inflammatory mediators cross blood-brain barrier, increase vascular permeability,
Blunted anti-inflammatory response
![Page 9: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Higher plasma concentrations tumor necrosis factor receptor-1, and lower plasma concentrations of protein C, matrix metalloproteinase-9 were associated with increased risk of delirium
![Page 10: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3. Impaired oxidative metabolism Delirium as behavioral manifestation of
‘widespread reduction of cerebral oxidative metabolism resulting in imbalance of neurotransmission’.
Engel and Romano believed diffuse slowing on EEG to represent a reduction in brain metabolism.
Oxidative stress responsible for multi-organ dysfunction in critically ill patients.
![Page 11: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
4. Availability of large neutral amino acids Neurotransmitter levels and function affected
by changes in plasma concentrations of various amino acid precursors
Proposed that altered availability of large neutral amino acids contributes to development of delirium.
Amino acid entry into brain regulated by sodium-independent large neutral amino acid transporter type 1 (LAT1).
![Page 12: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tryptophan, essential amino acid and precursor for serotonin, competes with large neutral amino acids (for eg, tyrosine, phenylalanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine) for transport across BBB via LAT1.
Phenylalanine competes with large neutral amino acids
Increased cerebral uptake of tryptophan and phenylalanine, compared with other large neutral amino acids, leads to elevated levels of dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

Predisposing factors (host factors) Present before ICU admission
1. Age2. Alcoholism3. Smoking4. Hypertension 5. APOE4 polymorphism6. Cognitive impairment7. Hearing/visual impairment8. Depression
Risk factors
![Page 14: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Precipitating factors. Occur during course of critical illness May involve factors of acute illness or be
iatrogenic; Represent potential preventive or
therapeutic intervention.
![Page 15: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Factors of critical illness1. Acidosis2. Anemia3. Infection/sepsis4. Hypotension5. Metabolic
disturbances6. Respiratory disease7. High severity of
illness
Iatrogenic factors1. Immobilization2. Medication (opoids,
BDZ)3. Sleep disturbances
![Page 16: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pandharipande et al (2006) fpund patients treated with lorazepam were more likely to be delirious
Treatment with fentanyl, morphine, propofol were not significantly associated with transition to delirium.
Sedative agents that are GABA receptor sparing (Opioids, dexmedetomidine (a novel α2-receptor agonist) may reduce risk for delirium in ICU patients as compared to BZD
Sedatives and delirium
![Page 17: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ICU patients sleep only 2 hours per day, less than 6% of their sleep
Sleep deprivation impairs cognition Factors affecting sleep-metabolic
derangements, mechanical ventilation, exposure to sedative, analgesic medications
Excessive noise and patient care activities-minor role.
![Page 18: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Constellation of symptoms with acute onset and fluctuating course
Cognitive symptoms-disorientation, inability to sustain attention, impaired short-term memory, impaired visuospatial ability, reduced level of consciousness, perseveration.
Behavioral symptoms-sleep-wake cycle disturbance, irritability, hallucinations, delusions
Clinical manifestation
![Page 19: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Clinical manifestations vary according to precipitating factors.
For eg. Bacteremia present with encephalopathy and declined mental status and with alcohol withdrawal syndrome present with symptoms of overactive sympathetic central nervous system.

Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) and the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)
Using ICDSC, each patient is assigned a score from 0 to 8; a cut-off score of 4 has sensitivity 99% and specificity 64% for identifying delirium
Diagnosis
![Page 21: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

CAM-ICU has a more modest sensitivity ranging from 64% to 81%, high specificity from 88% to 98%.
![Page 23: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
S100B protein indicator of glial activation and/or death
Shown to be elevated in patients with delirium
Higher baseline levels of procalcitonin or C-reactive protein were associated with more days with delirium
Other biomarkers elevated-brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neuron-specific enolase, interleukins, cortisol
Biomarkers
![Page 25: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Multicomponent strategies Repeated reorientation of patient Provision of cognitively stimulating activities Nonpharmacologic sleep protocol Intermittent boluses rather than continuous
infusions Promoting daily interruption of sedatives
and analgesics
Prevention and treatment
![Page 26: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Early mobilization activities and range of motion exercises
Timely removal of catheters and physical restraints
Use of eyeglasses, magnifying lenses, and hearing aids, ear plugs.
Early correction of dehydration. Correction of infection, electrolyte
imbalance
![Page 27: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
First address complication of critical illness that may lead to delirium (hypoxia, hypercapnia, hypoglycemia, shock)
Any drug intended to improve cognition may have adverse psychoactive effects thus paradoxically exacerbating delirium.
Pharmacological treatment
![Page 28: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Haloperidol recommended as drug of choice for treatment of ICU delirium by SCCM
Blocks D2 dopamine receptors, resulting in amelioration of hallucinations, delusions, unstructured thought patterns
SCCM guidelines-hyperactive delirium to be treated with 2 mg intravenously, followed by repeated doses (doubling previous dose) every 15 to 20 minutes while agitation persists
![Page 29: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Once agitation subsides scheduled doses (every 4 to 6 hours) may be continued for few days, followed by tapered doses for several days.
Common doses for ICU patients range from 4 to 20 mg/day
![Page 30: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Atypical antipsychotics (risperidone, ziprasidone, quetiapine, olanzapine) may also be helpful in delirium.
Skrobik et al (2004) compared olanzapine with haloperidol and reported that resolution of delirium symptoms was similar in both but more side effects were observed in haloperidol
Medications should be avoided in with prolonged QT intervals
![Page 31: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dexmedetomidine, novel α2- receptor agonist that does not act on GABA receptors, may to be alternative sedative agent less likely to cause delirium.
Pandharipande P. et al (2007) showed ICU patients sedated with dexmedetomidine spent fewer days in coma and more days neurologically normal than lorazepam.
Benzodiazepines are not recommended for management of delirium
![Page 32: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Delirium in icu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062223/58ef0b521a28ab11088b458b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Delirium is associated with 3.2-fold increase in 6-month mortality and 2-fold increase in hospital stay duration.
Also dependent on duration. Increasing duration of delirium was
independently associated with cognitive impairment
