Abstract
ObjectiveTo study the delirium risk factors of intensive care unit(ICU)and to explore the clustering intervention prevention measures for clustering.
MethodsA total of 288 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from December 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the study subjects.According to whether delirium occurred during ICU observation, the patients were divided into delirium group and non-delirium group, with 112 cases and 176 cases, respectively.The medical records such as age, gender, and disease type were collected.The independent risk factors of ICU delirium were investigated by univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis between groups, and cluster intervention and prevention measures were developed based on this.
ResultsDelirium occured in 112 of 288 ICU patients, and the incidence of delirium was 38.89%.There were significant differences in age, mechanical ventilation, benzodiazepine use history, disease type, hypoxemia, acute physiology and chronic health score(APACHE-Ⅱ)scores between the delirium group and non-delirium group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, combined diabetes mellitus, combined hypertension and smoking history between the two groups(P>0.05). Hypoxemia(OR=2.076), mechanical ventilation(OR=2.863), history of use of benzodiazepines(OR=2.987), major surgery(OR=3.321) and severe trauma(OR=3.091)were independent risk factors for ICU delirium.
ConclusionsThe incidence of ICU delirium is high, which is affected by multiple factors such as severe trauma, mechanical ventilation, benzodiazepines, hypoxemia, etc.Therefore, appropriate cluster intervention and prevention measures can be developed based on the above evidence-based basis.
