Presenter: Sikandar H. Khan, D.O.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1)  Identify both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions (including novel interventions being tested such as music and virtual reality) for patients hospitalized with ICU delirium.

2)  Understand the long-term cognitive, psychological and physical effects of intensive care unit delirium (known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS)) and the effects of PICS on family (known as PICS-family (PICS-F)).

3)  Understand why older adults are at higher risk for developing PICS.

4)  Understand a collaborative clinic model for ICU survivors and family members/caregivers and ongoing clinical research in ICU survivors.

The Indiana Osteopathic Association (IOA) is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association to provide osteopathic continuing medical education for physicians.  The IOA designates this program for a maximum of 0.75 AOA Category 1-A credits and will report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the physician's participation in this activity.

It is the policy of the IOA that any physician dissatisfied with the CME program will be issued a refund upon request, and no CME credits will be reported to the AOA.  Complaints on Evaluation Forms also are taken into consideration when planning future CME programs and may lead to changes in the format or content.
