Common questions
What does ICU Delirium Assessment (CAM-ICU) do?
Use to screen for ICU delirium once the patient is arousable (RASS ≥ −3), applying the four-feature algorithm.
How is the result calculated?
Delirium present when Feature 1 (acute change/fluctuating mental status) AND Feature 2 (inattention) are present, plus either Feature 3 (altered level of consciousness, RASS ≠ 0) OR Feature 4 (disorganized thinking).
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
