ICU SEDATION GUIDELINES

Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) (Appendix 1) The CAM was developed in 1990 by Inouye et al. to aide in delirium assessment by non-psychiatric personnel (6). It was modified to the CAM-ICU by Ely et al. in 2001 for use in mechanically ventilated ICU patients not able to verbalize (7,8). ................
