Today is World Delirium Awareness Day #WDAD2024
Since my PhD in #Delirium I’ve been passionate about minimising #antipsychotic use in delirium management. Here is my entry to the #idelirium #infographic contest. Next time you’re thinking about using APs think SAFE & LOW.

Not just for nurses; doubling PT coverage reduces LoS by 3.6 ICU days and increasing PT coverage hours is LESS expensive. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
The ABCDEF bundle is [ultimately] cost saving, but to realize the savings, hospitals must invest first. Thank you @DaytonICU for your tireless work advocating, studying and explaining this. #investinoutcomes ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a SAFE night :: ❤️ @ZSFGCare @UCSFSurgery Trauma Team
122 more voices adding to the conversation about #PICS. You're a legend @lynzsutt. Thank you to the pts too for sharing your experiences and teaching us how to care for you.
The last 2 years of recruitment for SPLIT ENZ have come to an end. I am proud (and v relieved) to have not only met, but exceeded my goal of >100 pts, recruiting 122 ICU patients. A drop in the research ocean I know, but to me this is HUGE. Now I’ve just got to keep them….

Neurosurgeons must be mindful of the frequency of neuro checks we order.
Waking someone up every hour is not a benign intervention! Doing it to an elderly person with a TBI for days on end can perpetuate delirium. The results of this study in @NeurosurgeryCNS are not surprising.
There are some problems with the study, such as using neuro checks at admission as the exposure variable, but the authors do a good job with the data they have. It's a great reminder to think about how important that hourly neuro check really is! Be judicious in your orders and remember to do no harm!
