Abstract

Abstract:

Delirium is an acute, non-specific cerebral impairment characterized by a change consciousness and cognition. The incidence of delirium is high in ICU, which is critically associated with increased mortality, duration of hospital stay and medical costs. As a widely used strategy in ICU, weather sedation increases the risk of delirium as well as the causative relationship between the sedative depth and delirium and prevention of delirium have drwan more and more attention in ICU. In this paper, we review the relationship between sedation and delirium, the prevention and treatment of delirium were also discussed in this review.

Key words: Sedation, Analgesia, Delirium, Depth, Bundle of care
