摘要

Objective

Delirium is an increasingly recognized diagnosis in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. Infants with grade 3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may be at high risk of delirium due to prolonged mechanical ventilation, critical illness, and polypharmacy, including various neurosedatives.

Study design

We conducted a national survey to explore clinicians’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of delirium in term-corrected infants with grade 3 BPD.

Result

Over 60% of responders screened infants for delirium and initiated non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions. Most participants agreed that delirium is under-recognized but felt uncomfortable diagnosing it.

Conclusion

This highlights the urgent need for research to establish the incidence of delirium in infants with BPD and associated outcomes, educate NICU clinicians, validate screening tools in the NICU setting, and develop comprehensive interventions to prevent and treat delirium in this vulnerable population.
