We’ve prepared a short video demonstration of the CAM-ICU assessment method, which you can watch on YouTube, or play the embedded video below.

A big thank you to Dr Soskin and Dr Smit for filming this video and an extra special thankyou to Dr Santa who volunteered to play the role of the patient in the demonstration.
Do you want to find out if treating ICU delirium, all delirium, hypoactive or otherwise improves patient outcomes?
Would you and your consultant colleagues be interested in being part of a national prevention/treatment haloperidol vs. placebo multi-centre trial?
