Podcast # 458: A Tylenol a Day Keeps the Delirium Away?

Author: Nick Hatch, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • A recent study investigated the effect of scheduled IV acetaminophen on the incidence of delirium in post-CABG patients in the ICU
  • The use of scheduled IV acetaminophen reduced the rate of delirium in these patients compared to placebo
  • This may be due to the analgesic effect of acetaminophen and/or less requirement on other deliriogenic medications (opiates)
