ICU Delirium
Clinical Question
The PICOT question that will be evaluated in this study is, "Does the use of a validated delirium assessment instrument (intervention) improve delirium detection (outcome) among adults in the ICU (population) as compared multicomponent interventions (comparison) within a 6-month period (timeline)?"
Intervention to be Implemented
The intervention that will be implemented in this study is Confusion Assessment Method, which is a validated delirium screening instrument. The intervention will be utilized to examine how it improves the detection of ICU delirium among adults in intensive care units as compared to multicomponent interventions.
Outcomes to be Analyzed
The outcomes that will be analyzed during this study is whether a validated delirium screening instrument enhances the detection of this condition among adults in intensive care units as compared to other methods. As previously indicated, the validated delirium screening instrument that will be implemented is Confusion Assessment Method while the other methods will be multicomponent interventions.
The outcomes will be analyzed through conducting an experimental study in which study participants will be randomly assigned to different intervention groups i.e. the experimental and control groups (Research Connections, 2016). The research will then observe the participants' response to the interventions...
The experimental group will be subjected to CAM intervention while the control group will be subjected to multicomponent interventions. For the experimental group, the intervention will be administered at least once in every nursing shift, which implies three times a day. For the control group, normal and routine multicomponent interventions for detection of ICU delirium will be administered three times daily. Data will then be collected from these two groups and compared to determine which intervention enhances detection of delirium among adults in intensive care units.
The researcher will utilize descriptive statistics to describe outcomes obtained from the study. Additionally, multivariate analysis will be employed to compare how Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) and multicomponent interventions improve detection of ICU delirium among patients. In this case, the researcher will conduct pre-tests to obtain baseline data on whether participants have been screened for the condition. After implementing the interventions, the researcher will conduct post-tests to determine the detection of ICU delirium using the various interventions. Delirium incidence will be determined through screening CAM-ICU or ICDSC, results of the observation, and systematic registration data from the patient's electronic health records (Ista et al., 2014). In addition to data…
ICU Delirium -- Evidence Review and Synthesis Evidence Review Luetz et al. (2014) conducted a study in which they examined how delirium management is an important aspect of intensive care treatment alongside analgesia and sedation management. The main objective of the study was to examine the implementation rate of delirium screening by healthcare professionals in the intensive care unit. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers utilized a multinational, two-part survey in
ICU Delirium -- Type Of Study Clinical Question The PICOT question that will be evaluated in this study is, "Does the use of a validated delirium assessment instrument (intervention) improve delirium detection (outcome) among adults in the ICU (population) as compared multicomponent interventions (comparison) within a 6-month period (timeline)?" The clinical question demonstrates that the study will involve conducting a comparison of the impact of a validated delirium assessment instrument vis-a-vis multicomponent interventions
ICU Delirium Search of Literature for Evidence One of the most crucial elements towards conducting a high-quality research is conducting an effective and valid search of literature for evidence. The search of literature for evidence is defined as an organized comprehensive search of existing literature published regarding the research issue. A well-organized search of literature is important when conducting a study since it's the most efficient and effective means for locating sound
ICU and Delirium Evidence-Based Project Proposal Patients that are sixty-five years or older account for an average of more than fifty percent of the visitors to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and there are a host of known risk factors that are associated with individuals who are among this demographic and many elderly patients are discharged directly to long-term living facilities due to the fact that they are unable to continue to
Sleep deprivation is frequently a direct result of the need for intensive care, constant surveillance and monitoring that combine to limit the opportunities for uninterrupted sleep in the intensive care unit (ICU). The problem is multifactorial, with patients' chronic underlying illness, pain, pharmacological interventions used for the treatment of the primary illness, as well as the ICU environment itself have all been shown to be contributing factors to the process
