ER staff trained to catch hidden danger in seniors

NCT ID NCT05606328

Summary

This study tested a new training program designed to help emergency room nurses better identify delirium in older patients. Delirium is a sudden state of confusion that affects up to 20% of seniors in the ER and is often missed. The program trained designated 'champion' nurses, who then taught their colleagues, to see if it improved how accurately and consistently they screened for this condition.
