Pediheart Podcast #181: Delirium In The Pediatric Postoperative Cardiac Patient

This week we enter the world of cardiac critical care to discuss delirium in the postoperative pediatric cardiac patient. We speak with nursing scientist, Professor Sandra Staveski of UCSF about a recent large multicenter study she conducted on this topic. How prevalent is this problem and why is it an important morbidity to tackle and reduce? How can nursing interventions reduce this problem and how can the ICU team working together identify and manage this problem? Dr. Staveski shares her deep nursing and critical care knowledge with us this week. DOI: 10.1097/PCC.0000000000002591
