The prevalence of delirium in the ICU varies from 20-80%. Delirium has been associated with increased hospital length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Sedative and narcotic use has been shown to increase the risk and severity of delirium. Haloperidol is the mainstay of delirium management as recommended by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) due to extensive clinical experience with this medication. However, its usage is often limited by safety concerns. Atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine have been shown to have equivalent success in the treatment of delirium while being associated with fewer side effects.

These include admissions to hospital with breathing difficulties, or transfers to critical care (intensive care) units.

PICS has not been described in older adults receiving home care. Our aim was to examine the relationship between length of ICU stay and PICS among older adults receiving home care. We expected that patients in the ICU for 3 days or longer would demonstrate significantly more disability in all three domains on follow-up than those not in the ICU. A secondary aim was to identify patient characteristics increasing the odds of disability.

Periods of mechanical ventilation, sensory deprivation, presence of noxious stimuli, and using sedation medication increase a patient’s risk of developing delirium and may result in hallucinations, traumatic memories of medical events, or the absence or fragmentation of memories throughout their intensive care experience (Myers et al., 2016). In 2010, stakeholders from the Society of Critical Care Medicine identified this phenomenon as Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) characterized by new or worsening physical, cognitive, or mental health problems after critical illness (Needham et al., 2012). PICS manifests in numerous ways, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as impaired global cognition and executive function (Myers et al., 2016). Current literature regarding intensive care survivors indicates that 30% of patients will experience depression and 70% will experience anxiety after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU), with one third of patients developing PTSD symptoms in the first 2 years after critical illness (Bienvenu et al., 2013; Myers et al., 2016). Additionally, the duration of delirium can be an independent risk factor for below-baseline global cognition, as well as for impairment in executive functioning after discharge from the ICU (Pandharipande et al., 2013). In an effort to reduce the occurrence of PICS, health care professionals have used numerous non-pharmacological interventions, including early mobilization, environmental modifications, and the ICU diary (Álvarez et al., 2017; Garrouste-Orgeas et al., 2012; Schweickert et al., 2009).
