Research over the last decade showed that delirium in the pediatric ICU is common and associated with worse outcome. Prevention, screening and treating delirium in the pediatric ICU gained significant emphasize in the last few years and is an important component of the ICU liberation program.
Literature on pediatric delirium treatment is still scarce and lacks recommended agents and/or dosage. In this small research survey, we try to assess the practice in the pediatric intensive care units throughout the country.
In the survey we have 10 questions and will take less than 3 minutes to finish. We will collect data about your institution but we will not collect any data about the personal answering the question. Your taking part in this survey is completely voluntary and your responses are anonymized. Only aggregated responses will be published.
We will ensure that the information we collect remains private and used purely for this research study. Completing this questionnaire will serve as your consent to take part in the study. This study was approved by the IRB at the university of Missouri.
We are very grateful for any information that you and your colleagues can provide. Many thanks for your time.
