Résumé
Delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a common but serious condition that has been associated with in-hospital mortality and post-discharge psychological dysfunction. The aim of this before and after study is to determine the effect of a multidisciplinary care model entailing daily ICU rounds with a psychiatrist on the incidence of delirium and clinical outcomes. To assess the impact of a proactive psychiatry consultation model in the surgical ICU on the incidence and duration of delirium. This was a prospective, single institution, observational controlled cohort pilot study of adult patients admitted to a surgical ICU. A control group that received standard of care (SOC) with daily delirium prevention care bundles in the pre-intervention period was compared to an intervention group, which had a psychiatrist participate in daily ICU rounds (post-intervention period). The primary outcome was delirium incidence. The secondary outcomes were: delirium duration, ventilator days, hospital and ICU length of stay, and in-hospital mortality. A total of 104 patients were enrolled and equally split between SOC and intervention groups; 95 contributed to analysis. The overall incidence of ICU delirium was 19%. SOC and intervention groups had similar rates of delirium (21% vs 18%, p = 0.72). None of the secondary outcomes statistically significantly differed between the two groups. Delirium in ICU patients is a potentially preventable condition with serious sequelae. There was no difference in delirium incidence or duration between patients receiving SOC or patients who had multidisciplinary rounds with a psychiatrist.

BACKGROUND
Delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a common but serious condition that has been associated with in-hospital mortality and post-discharge psychological dysfunction. The aim of this before and after study is to determine the effect of a multidisciplinary care model entailing daily ICU rounds with a psychiatrist on the incidence of delirium and clinical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of a proactive psychiatry consultation model in the surgical ICU on the incidence and duration of delirium.
METHODS
This was a prospective, single institution, observational controlled cohort pilot study of adult patients admitted to a surgical ICU. A control group that received standard of care (SOC) with daily delirium prevention care bundles in the pre-intervention period was compared to an intervention group, which had a psychiatrist participate in daily ICU rounds (post-intervention period). The primary outcome was delirium incidence. The secondary outcomes were: delirium duration, ventilator days, hospital and ICU length of stay, and in-hospital mortality.
RESULTS
A total of 104 patients were enrolled and equally split between SOC and intervention groups; 95 contributed to analysis. The overall incidence of ICU delirium was 19%. SOC and intervention groups had similar rates of delirium (21% vs 18%, p = 0.72). None of the secondary outcomes statistically significantly differed between the two groups.
CONCLUSION
Delirium in ICU patients is a potentially preventable condition with serious sequelae. There was no difference in delirium incidence or duration between patients receiving SOC or patients who had multidisciplinary rounds with a psychiatrist.
