Delirium is one of the most common behavioral manifestations of acute brain dysfunction in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is a strong predictor of worse outcome. Routine monitoring for delirium is recommended for all ICU patients using validated tools. In delirious patients, a search for all reversible precipitants is the first line of action and pharmacologic treatment should be considered when all causes have been ruled out, and it is not contraindicated. Long-term morbidity has significant consequences for survivors of critical illness and for their caregivers. ICU patients may develop posttraumatic stress disorder related to their critical illness experience.
谵妄是重症监护病房(ICU)急性脑功能障碍最常见的行为表现之一,也是预后较差的有力预测指标。建议使用经过验证的工具对所有ICU患者进行谵妄常规监测。对于谵妄患者,首先要排查所有可逆性诱因,当所有病因均被排除且无用药禁忌时,应考虑药物治疗。长期发病对危重症幸存者及其照顾者会产生重大影响。ICU患者可能会因危重症经历而患上创伤后应激障碍。
