Long-Term Cognitive Impairment After Critical Illness

This case focuses on long-term cognitive impairment after critical illness by asking the question: What is the prevalence of long-term cognitive impairment after critical illness, and does the duration of delirium and use of sedative or analgesic medications affect cognitive outcomes? This study demonstrated that 74% of adult patients with critical illness experience delirium during their hospital course. Furthermore, patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting commonly experience global cognition and executive function deficits at 3 and 12 months following hospitalization. These findings highlight the importance of careful delirium surveillance in ICU patients.
