  3. A recap on Delirium Hyperactive delirium, 2% Adapted from Peterson JF et al. Delirium & its motor subtypes: a study of 614 critical ill patients. Journal of American Geriatrics Society 2006;54: 479-84.

  4. A recap on Delirium (=Brain Dysfunction) • Hyperactive Delirium (e.g. Agitation, self extubation, fighting the ventilator etc.) • Hypoactive Delirium (e.g. Confusion, disorientated etc.) • Mixed Delirium • Other terms: ICU psychosis, brain dysfunction, altered mental status… • Prevalence : very common: Up to 80% of patients will suffer from Delirium in the ICU, it is the most frequent forms of organ dysfunction. • Impact on mortality, healthcare cost (longer ICU LOS), increase dementia risk in the elderly, leading to cognitive impairment persisting months to years after discharge, physical and mental disability • It has been postulated that benzodiazepines (midazolam, lorazepams) and propofol (GABA mimetics) is contributing to Brain dysfunction. • In SEDCOM study, Precedex is shown to reduce the incidence of Delirium by 23% (p<0.001).

  5. A recap on Delirium Delirium & Precedex related clinical studies (DB, Randomized, placebo controlled studies) • In SEDCOM study involving 375 medical & surgical ICU patients, Precedex is shown to reduce the incidence ofdelirium by 23% (p<0.001) vs midazolam. • In PRODEX study involving 500 ICU patients, Precedex is shown to reduce neurocognitive adverse events (including delirium, anxiety and agitation (p<0.008) with Precedex group. • In both MIDEX & PRODEX study involving 1000 patients, time to extubation is significantly shorter in Precedex group (147 hrs in Midazolam group vs 101 hrs in Dex group; 93 hrs in Propofol group vs 69 hrs in Dex group) • Patient receiving Dex were more arousable, more cooperative and more able to communicate their pain than the patients receiving Midazolam or Propofol (p<=0.001)

  6. Delirium in ICU and its impact in clinical studies • Independently associated with higher 6-month mortality rates (34% vs 15%, p=0.03) • Increase in Hospital LOS by 10 days (p<0.001) • Independently associated with longer post-ICU stay (p=0.009) • Higher incidence of cognitive impairment at hospital discharge (p=0.002) • The use of benzodiazepines, opiates and propofol has been contributing to brain dysfunction.

JAMA 2004; 291(14):1753-1762. • Jakob SM, Ruokonen E, Grounds RM et al. Dexmedetomidine vs Midazolam or Propofol for sedation during prolonged mechanical ventilation. Two randomized controlled trials. JAMA 2012; 307(11):1151-1160. • Riker RR, Shehabi Y, Bokesch PM et al. Dexmedetomidine vs Midazolam for sedation of critically ill patients: A randomized trial. JAMA 2009;301(5):489-499.

  7. Highlights of US SCCM 2012 PAD guideline recommendation • Analgesia first sedation • Patient’s self report on pain is the gold standard • Prioritize Non-benzos over benzos to improve clinical outcomes in mechanical ventilated adult ICU patients (+2B) • In mechanically ventilated patients at risk for developing delirium, Precedex may be associated with less delirium than benzos. • Recommend Light level of Sedation (+1B) • Recommend Early mobilization to reduce delirium • Recommend RASS to monitor depth of sedation

  9. Video on delirium regarding Patients’ long term impact (The Patient Survivors’ Story) • Two patient videos selected (courtesy from Dr. E. Wesley Ely on approval in using the videos • 1st Patient: • A 49 year old Accountant The long term impacts: • IQ test : Before delirium: IQ = 145, After delirium: IQ = 110 • MRI scan on the brain shows a 80 year old woman after delirium • Suffering from day-to-day short term memory problems • Suffering from anxiousness, nervousness, depression • Originally an accountant, now cannot balance the check book. • Difficult to get concentrated  Cannot read a book • Working slowly every day, from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm • Eventually retire early because she cannot keep up with the workload

  10. Video on delirium regarding Patients’ long term impact (The Patient Survivors’ Story) • 2nd Patient: • University graduate, a medical receptionist in trauma ICU The long term impacts: • Cannot check her 4th grade child homework • Problems in balancing check book • Did not remember having a baby girl Impacts on QoL: • Have to write down every single thing when go to shopping, however still missing • After the meeting, need to write down everything, otherwise forgot easily • Feel depressed • Can only work 30 hours a week (The doctor set the limit because of her ability to remember things and depression) • Great impact in her job and daily life

  11. Last but not least • We have prepared the two materials written by two patients who have suffered from delirium: • Ms. Aneta Weinreich (Bridal costume designer, Henry Roth Worldwide) • The ICU Memoirs : 11 days of Intubation • Mr. David Aaronovitch (Journalist, The Times Magazine) • My Nightmare in hospital
