Delirium in a Tertiary Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit: Risk Factors and Outcomes.

Screening positive for delirium is common in the pediatric CICU and is independently associated with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay. Longer duration of mechanical ventilation and higher sedative doses are independent risk factors for screening positive for delirium. Efforts aimed at reducing these exposures may decrease the burden of delirium in this population.
