Disparities in Finding Delirium in Critically Ill Latinos
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the accuracy of delirium detection tools in Spanish-speaking ICU patients, particularly in the context of language discordance between patients and providers. The findings reveal that standard delirium screening (Usual-Care) is significantly less effective for Spanish-speakers, with a high rate of missed diagnoses, while a caregiver-administered tool (FAM-CAM) notably improves detection rates. Additionally, Spanish-speaking patients experienced deeper sedation and higher restraint use compared to their English-speaking counterparts, highlighting disparities in delirium care.
