Article Synopsis
  • Disorientation is a key early sign of postoperative delirium (POD), which can lead to serious health issues, but existing tools like CAM-ICU can't assess disorientation in intubated patients.
  • Researchers developed the Confusion Assessment Method for Intermediate Care Unit (CAM-IMC) by combining CAM-ICU variables with disorientation testing to improve POD diagnosis in non-intubated patients.
  • In a study of 178 patients, CAM-IMC showed high diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 94%, highlighting its reliability as a tool for identifying POD in postoperative settings.
