12 Myths 1. All Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients Require Sedatives 2. It Is Easier to Care for Deeply Sedated ICU Patients 3. Sedatives Help to Facilitate Sleep in ICU Patients 4. Daily Interruptions of Sedative Medications Are Unsafe Peitz, et al., (2013). Top 10 Myths Regarding Sedation and Delirium in the ICU. CCMjournal. 41(9)

13 Sustained use of sedatives can prolong mechanical ventilation Increase ICU length of stay (LOS) increase the likelihood of developing acute delirium Riker, et al; SEDCOM (Safety and Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine Compared With Midazolam) Study Group: Dexmedetomidine vs midazolam for sedation of critically ill patients: A randomized trial. JAMA 2009; 301:

14 Clarify the reason for sedation and severity of the problem: Pain Negative Effects: Agitation/Anxiety Delirium Sleep Deprivation Metabolic Acidosis ETOH or Drug Withdrawal Depression Need Criteria: Violent and dangerous to self and/or others Uncorrectable severe hypoxia Dangerous hemodynamic instability Temporarily for some procedures Respiratory Depression Hemodynamic Instability

15 easier for whom? (Peitz, et al) Effects of deep sedation: It Predisposes to VAP It Accelerates Patient De-conditioning It Prolongs Time on Ventilators It Promotes Skin Breakdown Increased 6-month mortality Shehabi, et al; (2012) Sedation Practice in Intensive Care Evaluation (SPICE) Study Investigators; Early intensive care sedation predicts long-term mortality in ventilated critically ill patients.

20 Physiologic Effects: Impairs immunologic system May affect pulmonary mechanisms and respiratory muscles Increase in pain sensitivity Increase in cortisol levels Disrupted thermoregulation Fatigue, loss of vigor Neuropsychological Effects Irritability, anxiety Impairs cognitive function (attention, memory, concentration) Prolonged sleep deprivation: Hallucinations, perceptual distortions DELIRIUM Drouot, et al. (2007) Sleep in the intensive Care Unit. Sleep Medicine 12:

21 Beliefs related to lightning sedation: hemodynamic instability, increased oxygen requirements, increased risk of self-extubation, long-term psychological defects ABC Trial (2008) ) trial (SAT followed by SBT) N=436 shortened mechanical ventilation time by > 3 days Less self-extubations (6 vs. 16) Girard et al (2008) Awakening and Breathing reduced ICU by 3.8 days Controlled trial: Lancet; 371: reduced hospital LOS 4.3 days reduced mortality risk at 1 year (p=0.01)

22 PTSD: Girard, et al (2007) Risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms following critical illness requiring mechanical ventilation: a prospective cohort study. Critical Care, 11 Mental health condition triggered by exposure to a traumatic and extremely disturbing event Hyperarousability Intrusive recollection of events Avoidance/numbing More likely to occur in females, less likely to occur in older pts Memory of pain-independent predictor of PTSD 14% pts who required Mechanical Ventilation (MV) showed post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms after 6 months Sedatives in MV patients linked to this occurrence Daily interruption (SAT) may facilitate periods of alertness and reduce risk of PTSD (p=0.02)

23 C Choice of Drug

24 The Pain, Agitation and Delirium (PAD) clinical practice guidelines of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (2013 PAD SCCM/ACCP Guidelines)

25 Score Sedation Scale Description +4 Combative Overtly violent, immediate danger to self and/or staff. +3 Very Agitated Pulls or removes tube(s) or catheters; aggressive +2 Agitated Frequent non-purposeful movement, fights ventilator +1 Restless Anxious, apprehensive, but not aggressive 0 Alert and calm -1 Drowsy Awakens to voice with eye opening, eye contact (greater than 10 seconds). -2 Light sedation Briefly awakens with eye contact to voice (less than 10 seconds). -3 Moderate sedation Movement or eye opening to voice (no eye contact). -4 Deep sedation No response to voice, but movement or eye opening to physical stimulation -5 Unarousable No response to voice or physical stimulation.

26 Nurses completed a sedation assessment 21% of patients were found to be motionless and 32% were found to be minimally or non-arousable, yet only 3% were assessed by nurses as over-sedated and 17% were assessed as inadequately sedated Under sedation occurred 5 times more often than over-sedation Weinert, C. R.; Calvin, D.C., CritCare Med 2007; 35(2)

27 D Delirium Monitoring and Management

28 Delirium is defined as a disturbance of consciousness with inattention accompanied by a change in cognition or perceptual disturbance that develops over a short period of time (hours to days) and fluctuates over time [The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV)]. Cannot think clearly Trouble paying attention Hard time understanding what is going on around them May see or hear things that are not there. These things seem very real to them

29 Truman & Ely, Critical Care Nurse AACN, 2003

30

31 40-60% of non-ventilated patients 60-80% of mechanically ventilated patients Hypoactive delirium is missed in 75% of cases It is the most common organ dysfunction (CIBI) Most under-recognized form of organ dysfunction- CIBI (Critical Illness-associated Brain Injury) Occurs in > half ICU days Spronk P, ICM 2009 Vasilevskis E, Chest 2010 Schweickert W, Lancet 2009 Devlin J, CCM 2010 Pisani M, CCM 2010 Girard T, CCM 2010 Shehabi Y, CCM 2010 Vasilevskis E, CCM 2010

32 Predicts 3-fold increase death at 6 months 10% increase of risk of death for every day a pt is delirious Predicts longer ICU and hospital LOS Higher cost of care Disposition other than home

33 THINK T = Toxic Situations (CHF, shock, dehydration, deliriogenic meds, new organ failure) H = Hypoxemia/hypercarbia I = Infection/inflammation, immobility N = Non-pharmacological interventions K = K+ and other electrolyte abnormalities Brummel, et al.

34 Myth #1: Delirium is a benign and expected side effect of being in the ICU Myth #2: Delirium assessment and recognition Is consistent and uniform Myth #3: All ICU delirium is similar and can be managed effectively with medication Myth #4: Deep sedation and amnesia derived from sedative administration in ICU patients result in improved psychological outcomes, especially PTSD Peitz, et al., (2013). Top 10 Myths Regarding Sedation and Delirium in the ICU. CCMjournal. 41(9)

35 In 275 mechanically ventilated patients, with similar baseline characteristics, delirium was found to be an independent predictor of higher 6- month mortality. Ely, E.W., JAMA. 291(14): , 2004.

36 Cognitive Impairment: A mental health condition characterized by: Impaired thinking Impaired judgment Memory loss Delirium-independent predictor of long-term cognitive impairment Mild, moderate or severe cognitive impairment 80% of survivors of ICU patients who required mechanical ventilation had long term cognitive impairment, compared to < 15% in non-icu patients Cognitive impairment was seen up to 12 months post discharge Girard, et al. (2010) Delirium as a predictor of ling term Cognitive Impairment in survivors of critical illness. CCM

37 Depression: Mental health condition characterized by symptoms such as feelings of sadness and disinterest as well as physical symptoms such as lethargy and fatigue. As many as 50% of patients may suffer depression after an ICU stay. Acquired dementia-like long-term disability Girard, et al. (2010) Delirium as a predictor of ling term Cognitive Impairment in survivors of critical illness. CCM

38 821 patients enrolled in the cohort study: 6% had Cognitive Impairment at baseline 74% developed delirium during their hospital stay. At 3 months 40% had scores similar to patients with moderate TBI 26 % had scores similar to patient with mild Alzheimer s disease At 12 months 34% had scores for patients with moderate TBI 24 % had scores for patient with mild Alzhemier s disease Pandharipande et al., (2013). Long term cognitive impairment after critical Illness. New Engl. J Med, 369:

40 The CAM-ICU method showed: Patients are 10.5 times more likely to have delirium before daily interruption of sedation versus after (P, 0.001). Rapidly reversible, sedation-related delirium showed fewer ventilator (P, 0.001), ICU (P = 0.001), and hospital days (P, 0.001) than persistent delirium Coordinating delirium assessments with daily sedative interruption will improve ability to prognosticate ICU delirium outcomes Patel, et al., (2014) Am J of Resp & Crit Care Med Vol 189 No 6

42 Non-Pharmacological Strategies: Address Pain Issues Reorient patient date/time/place/reason hospitalization Update the whiteboards with caregiver names Discuss current events Provide hearing aids/eye glasses Promote Sleep Noise reduction strategies Normal day-night variation in illumination Minimize interruptions in sleep Promote comfort & relaxation (e.g. back care, oral care, massage, etc)

43 Mobility and daily sedation interruption 59% of patients who received mobility session during their ICU stay, were functioning independently at time of discharge. Schweickert et al. (2009) Early physical and occupational therapy in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients: A randomized controlled trials. Lancet.

54 F Family Communication and Involvement

55 family-based interventions to comfort confused patients predate modern medicine volunteer specialists who know and understand the patient, families are often motivated to help prevent and resolve delirium. Govig, 2014 N Engl Med 370:16 Family Involvement Benefits: Early mobility Rukstele et al (2013) Making Strides in preventing ICU-acquired weakness: Involving family in early progressive mobility.

56 Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw

57 Culture Behaviors and beliefs The total of the inherited ideas, beliefs, values, and knowledge Change To change one's opinion; to change the course of history. To exchange for something else

58 Educate staff Use a multifaceted approach to train staff Provide follow up training journal clubs, annual competencies Be persistent and consistent-interdisciplinary rounds Identify possible barriers to change and develop strategies to deal with these barriers Denial Rationalization Blame Uniqueness Unwillingness Lack of skills Listen with empathy-acknowledging you have heard others and that you care. Expect Resistance Lack of knowledge, fear of unknown, ego Use positive strategies to deal with it (i.e.: refocus, state the evidence over and over) Share the wins with the team (showcase the outcomes)!!
