Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Occurrence of delirium in critically ill patients detected through the application of the flowsheet CAM-ICU scale. The delirium subtype will be identified from the score on the RASS scale

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Duration of delirium during intensive care unit admission, which will be determined by the total number of days of CAM-ICU positive flowsheet from patient admission to ICU to discharge;Days of hospitalization in the ICU characterized by the number of days of hospitalization in the ICU until discharge to the ward, residence or death;Days of hospitalization in the hospital characterized by the number of days of hospitalization in the hospital until discharge or death;Mortality in 30 days characterized by the number of patients who died within 30 days after admission to the ICU;Mortality in 90 days characterized by the number of patients who died within 90 days after admission to the ICU;Removal of devices characterized by the number of withdrawal episodes of devices in use - catheter, probes, tubes - during ICU admission;Days in mechanical ventilation characterized by the number of days in mechanical ventilation;Re-intubation characterized by the number of episodes of reconnection to the ventilator during the period of hospitalization in the ICU;Fall characterized by the number of episodes in which the patient was found on the floor after falling from the hospital bed or armchair;Delirium / coma free days characterized by the number of days in which the patient did not take delirium and was not in coma from the inclusion in the study. In this study, comatose patients will be defined as those with RASS -4 or -5 or those who do not present ocular opening to painful stimuli.;Episodes of delirium characterized by the number of episodes in which verification of the CAM-ICU flowsheet was positive.;Period of onset of episodes of delirium characterized by the period in which the first episode of delirium occurred in quartiles of time: day 0-1; Day 2; day 3-6; above day 6.
