Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a training program to help emergency department nurses better detect delirium in older adults. Delirium, a sudden confusion, affects up to 20% of older ER patients and is often missed. The program trained nurse champions through workshops and telehealth sessions, who then trained other nurses. The goal was to improve screening accuracy and ultimately patient care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Emergency Department Delirium Screening and Detection Program (ED-DDP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could lead to better and more consistent detection of delirium in older emergency patients, potentially improving their care and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's effectiveness in real-world settings is still uncertain.
