Prevention of #delirium always presents a conundrum. This review and meta-analysis by Leong et al. in @yourICM suggests that while #pain is an independent risk factor for delirium, so are some #opioid medications. How do we balance risks and benefits?

A secondary analysis of the ANALGESIC trial suggests fentanyl may ⬆️ risk of delirium vs. morphine (absolute risk difference 7.34%), but this was NSS. Antipsychotic use was linearly related to opioid dose. Antipsychotic use ⬆️ 45% per 1000mg ME. #PharmICU
