Background: The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) is emerging as the most frequently used tool for identifying delirium among critically ill patients. Objective: To determine whether the number of patients and nursing shifts in which delirium was diagnosed would increase after the introduction of the CAM-ICU in our unit. Design: Before-and-after study. In a 30-day Phase 1, we asked bedside nurses to assess their ICU patients for delirium each shift. We then conducted intensive education on the CAM-ICU for 30 days, including lectures, bedside tutorials, and supervised practice. In Phase 2, for 30 days we asked bedside nurses to record the results of their CAM-ICU assessments. Setting: 20-bed mixed medical and ...
