Margaret Parker, MD, MCCM, speaks with Chani Traube, MD, about the article, “Delirium in Critically Ill Children: An International Point Prevalence Study,” published in the April 2017 issue of Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Traube discusses the complexity of diagnosing pediatric delirium in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients. Study findings showed that one out of every four children in the PICU was delirious, with hypoactive delirium being most common. Dr. Traube is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York where she works as a PICU attending and clinical researcher. Crit Care Med. 2017; 45(4):584-590.
