My step-father has been in ICU since 1/29. They just moved him to a room today. But he has been experiencing ICU delirium. I had never heard of it before and just happened to be there when one of the docs mentioned that he had delirium, so I started to research it. There does need to be more awareness so that more people can advocate for their loved ones and ask questions like can their loved one be awake on the ventilator, do they need continuous sedation, when will you try to get them up and moving?
