Delirium in the pediatric population is frquently undetected or misdiagnosed without routine screening. While the prevelance of delirium across an entire actue care setting has been documented in adults, there is a paucity of evidence in the pediatric acute care setting. This presentation will describe the process of training rehabilitation therapy staff to use the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) during routine therapy sessions. It will also reveal the results of the screens performed, showing delirium across all hospital units, not just in previously documented areas, like the PICU,CVICU, and NICVU.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the incidence of pediatric delirium historically
  • Describe the importance of screening for delirium in pediatric rehabilitation patients
  • Describe the impact of pediatric therapists utilizing the CAPD
  • Discuss the incidence of pediatric delirium throughout an entire hospital system
