"Acute Medical Illness and the Brain in Infants and Children: Delirium Risks, Reality and Potential Consequences"
About the Speaker:
Catherine Fuchs, MD
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Pediatrics
Bixler-Johnson-Mayes Chair
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Objectives:
The activity is designed to help the learner
1. Identify the prevalence of pediatric delirium in infants and children in the various pediatric ICU populations
2. Describe the clinical patterns associated with pediatric delirium with application to screening and assessment
3. Discuss the potential consequences of pediatric delirium on the developing brain
Summary:
The development of structured screening and assessment tools has facilitated identification of prevalence of pediatric delirium as a syndrome, ranging from 10%-67% based upon the population being studied. Prevalence is related but not limited to acuity, age (<2 years), sedation practices, and mechanical ventilation. Knowledge of stages of development is critical for clinical and risk assessment. Studies suggest that delirium increases risk for PTSD and cognitive challenges as well as anxiety and mood disorders. .
