• Full title– Delirium: diagnosis, prevention and
management
• Draft was out for consultation November 2009 to January 2010
• Published July
![Page 3: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• There is a significant burden associated with this condition. Compared with people who do not develop delirium, people who develop delirium may:
• need to stay longer in hospital or in critical care
• have an increased incidence of dementia • have more hospital-acquired complications,
such as falls and pressure sores • be more likely to need to be admitted to
long-term care if they are in hospital • be more likely to die.

• Delirium is a common but complex clinical syndrome associated with poor outcomes
• It can be prevented and treated
• How many of your formally assess your patients?

Key priorities for implementation
![Page 6: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Risk factor assessment• When people first present to hospital or
long-term care, assess them for the following risk factors:
• Age 65 years or older
• Cognitive impairment: – A previous history of cognitive
impairment– Or if cognitive impairment is suspected,
confirm it using a standardised and validated cognitive impairment measure
![Page 7: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Current hip fracture
• Severe illness (a clinical condition that is deteriorating or is at risk of deterioration)
• If any of above risk factors are present, the person is considered to be at risk
![Page 8: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Indicators of prevalent delirium
• Assess people at risk for indicators of delirium, which are sudden changes or fluctuations in usual behaviour.
• These may be reported by the person at risk, or a carer or relative.
![Page 9: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The changes may be in any of the following:
• cognitive function– for example, worsened concentration, slow
responses, confusion
• perception– for example, visual or auditory
hallucinations
![Page 10: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• physical function– for example, reduced mobility, reduced
movement, restlessness, agitation, changes in appetite, sleep disturbance
• social behaviour– for example, poor cooperation,
withdrawal, or alterations in communication, mood and/or attitude.
![Page 11: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If any of these indicators are present, a healthcare professional who is trained and competent in the diagnosis of delirium should carry out a clinical assessment to confirm the diagnosis.
![Page 12: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Diagnosis of delirium
• Carry out a clinical assessment using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria or short Confusion Assessment Method (short CAM)
• In critical care or in the recovery room after surgery, CAM-ICU should be used

2) Did the patient's mental status fluctuate during the last 24 hours

• Within 24 hours of admission, assess for clinical indicators contributing to delirium
• Assess patients at least daily
• Based on this assessment, provide a multicomponent intervention package tailored to the person’s individual needs and care setting.
![Page 27: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Interventions to prevent delirium
• Ensure that people at risk of delirium have a care environment that:
• Avoids unnecessary room changes
• Maintain a team of healthcare professionals who are familiar to the person at risk
![Page 28: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Interventions to prevent delirium
• Orientate patients– Soft lights– 24 hour clock and calendar– Regular visits from family and friends
• Prevent dehydration and / or constipation • Prevent / reduce infections
– Avoid unnecessary catheterisation
![Page 29: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Interventions to prevent delirium
• Pain control – use analgesia• Reduce polypharmacy effects• Prevent poor nutrition• Reduce immobility by mobilising early• Ensure hearing aids and glasses are there• Sleep
![Page 30: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Non-pharmacological interventions
• In people diagnosed with delirium, identify and manage the possible underlying cause / causes
• Ensure effective communication and reorientation and provide reassurance for people diagnosed with delirium.
• Family, friends and carers may be able to help with this.
![Page 31: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Pharmacological interventions
• If non-pharmacological approaches are ineffective, consider giving short-term (for 1 week or less) haloperidol or olanzapine if people with delirium are distressed or a risk to themselves or others
![Page 32: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Information giving & support • Give information to people who are at risk
of delirium or who have it, and to their families and carers which:
• Describes people’s experience of delirium • Informs them that the experience of
delirium is common and is usually temporary
• Encourages people at risk and their families and/or carers to tell their healthcare team about any sudden changes or fluctuations in usual behaviour
![Page 33: NICE Delirium Guidelines Catherine Plowright](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54986077b479593d4d8b5442/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Encourages the person with delirium to share their experiences during recovery with the healthcare professional.
• Ensure that information provided meets the cultural, linguistic,

Research recommendations
• Pharmacological prevention
• Pharmacological treatment
• Multi component intervention
• Delirium in long-term care
• Education programme
