This presentation will describe the process of training therapy staff to use the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD), as well as the results of the screens performed, showing delirium across all hospital units, not just in previously documented areas, like the PICU,CVICU, and NICU.

The presentation will look at several case studies where the use of the CAPD scores helped to guide the care of specific patients.
Finally, the presentation will look at a novel use of the CAPD with trauma patients to document neuro-recovery.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the incidence of delirium in children with developmental delay.
• Explore the training process for therapy staff and the implications of performing delirium screening for all sessions.
• Describe the approach taken to document Neuro progress using the CAPD
