Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Utilize ICDSC results in ICU nursing records for identifying delirium.

Management

  • Implement targeted prevention and intervention strategies based on identified risk factors.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Monitor patients for signs of delirium, especially those with identified risk factors.

Risks

  • POD increases the risk of long-term cognitive decline and functional dependence.

Patient & Prescribing Data

302 patients who underwent extracorporeal circulation cardiac surgery.

Sedative use and postoperative hypotension are associated with higher POD incidence.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Conduct thorough preoperative assessments to identify high-risk patients.
  • Optimize sedation protocols to minimize the risk of delirium.
  • Ensure adequate monitoring of postoperative indicators such as albumin levels and mechanical ventilation duration.
