Never heard of this before today why does no one talk about it? A lot of people with post operation ICU delirium could be causing PTSD memory to haunt them.

My mom was discharged from the hospital with a uti that wasn't addressed and has horrible delirium. She didn't even have surgery. Nobody cares and said it was normal. This could have been prevented.

I had colon surgery after a cancer diagnosis. They took out about ten inches of my colon and then resectioned it. Unfortunately there was an anastomotic leak and I had to be readmitted for emergency surgery which involved ten days in ICU. It was a living nightmare because I was definitely aware of being outside of my body but desperately wanting to get back into it. There were hideous images and faces and voices that were truly scary like a horror movie. At other times bizarrely I thought I was in a pixar movie where everything around me was painted and there was a mouse there sitting quietly at peace and I felt at peace too just staring at him. I think the sexual abuse was probably the worst. Not the surgeons but the imaginary nursing nightshift who were evil and looking at me with dirty looks like I was disgusting and filthy and had done something wrong and they told me what they were going to do to me. It was like they were angry or something and I was exposed. My private parts were showing and they all filed past my bed and looked and muttered how disgusting I was. I think that was the ICU delirium phase. I was in ICU for six weeks and imagined that I was there because of my mental incapacity to think straight because I had messed about with drugs ( which I had not ) and plus the fact that I couldn’t move because my legs had given up being bedridden for so long. All the male staff on the ward were gay (I imagined) and I was in danger, I felt, of being abused.

I was recently kept sedated for about a week and a half after a serious mva. I believe my mix was Oxy, ketamine and fentanyl. Let me tell you, it was horrifying. The hallucinations were god-awful. I did not know what had happened to me at first, and the nurses and fam had to repeatedly tell me that it was a car crash. I kept going to this "other place" where I thought I was being kept from my family. I kept screaming for them, to later find out I was intubated. Silent screams. I even pulled out my feeding tube during a hallucination. So, I was restrained. At least I understood why. My nurse and doc were not happy with me. So caregivers, this is for you. Please realize that we can hear when sedated like that. We may not be hearing correctly. Please do not make fun or be nasty if we are being difficult. To someone hallucinating like that, you have no idea what we are seeing and hearing. Just know it is hell on Earth. Going for my 1st counseling session this week.

Thank you for the clarification, it helped me in my studies. Can you do a video explaining about culture bound syndromes plz 😊

I'm sure I had delirium after my open heart surgery. I was desperately looking for my son

My boyfriend is currently experiencing this after a week under. It’s so scary & his family is trying to tell him its okay & these things actually happened to him. I don’t know what to do. My best friend is struggling and I don’t know if I should be trying to convince him of the truth everyday or not 😢

The CDC states a spike in teens getting high on Covid 19 Delirium. Its the new Drug to fight in the War on Drugs!! Covid 19 users must be arrested and jailed as biological Terrorists!!!

My mom has this! She has a seizure followed by a massive heart attack, stroke pneumonia and internal bleeding! Yesterday they took her off the ventilator but something wasn’t right! Today they said she had icu delirium I’m so scared for her as she went 53 minutes without proper oxygen.

My delerium hell was 4 years ago but I still remember and tell my story of hell.

UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT A VERY PATIENT PATIENT ! ! !☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

❤ thanks for adequate information 😊 please can you tag me in your video I wanna continue acquire adequate information to you

God bless you man

Thank you bhawa

My husband has been ventilated for 6 days, the last 3 days they are trying to ween down his sedation. He's 38. So far, he's seemingly in a delirious state. Noneye contact, head thrashing, restrained to the bead so he doesn't pull out tubes. I did get him to make eye contact with me last night. What more can I expect? Will it just take longer to ween off the sedation?

excellent video

Thank you I can tell you really really care, unfortunately many now are not like you. The nurses can drive you nuts too loud too in your face and NOISY if 2 nurses come in and even talk to the patient next to you and between themselves.. I swear they are insane and drive the patients insane when they are trying to sleep or rest. You are wonderful thank you

I truly wish I could talk to you bc it has taken me many years to get to this point right here ,to where I actually have my vocabulary etc back. It's all my fault. I'm a recovering drug addict. I use to over dose over & over . I suffer ( I still struggle with severe anxiety & depression) but I use to over dose to the point I'd end up on in the ICU weekly( I know it's horrible). I've been sober for 4yrs now). I'm a grandma now and I absolutely adore my grandsons! But I guess my point is ,I've lost so many memories and I have seizures and I can't really describe my symptoms to anyone. It's almost like it's made up or it doesn't make sense ( unless you were there). But after randomly coming across this video ,I'm wondering if I may have been experiencing this or something close to it? I was on a ventilator more than I can count. And I still catch myself losing memories. Idk , it's strange how the brain works. I know I've done some damage , that's a fact but I'd like to be more educated on exactly what I've done so that I can try to understand what it is I'm going through,so I can handle it better. Sometimes I get very depressed bc I feel " stupid" at the ridiculous damage I've done. I just get so mad at MYSELF!!! Thank u for all your info...;)and BTw ,idk if I even have this but when I heard about this my stomach dropped. I immediately thought OMG ,this really sounds like something I was going through many years ago and NOONE would hear me and I completely get it ( I wasn't the most trusted or understood person "at the time").

How long normally a patient was in ICU until this delirium risk can be developed?

Great. But the fact that we’re even asking “why should I care?” in this context is deeply concerning.

Hi. Are you still studying?

Suggest me doctor name in this deases who is best doctor. Phycatrist or Neurologist?

My sister is also suffering delirium deases kindly suggest me whats better doctor in this deases . phychatrist or Neurologist? Kindly guide me dr please help me she is 22 years old 😢 em waiting ur suggestion nd answer please help

My husband is currently going through this. He's been in the ICU for 3 weeks now and on the ventilator for 2 weeks. It's really scary and difficult because he's not sleeping, having hallucinations and can't always remember where he is or why. A few days ago he said he's not sure what's real and what's not. He said he's seeing things. 😔 I hope he gets better.

Could vitamin D or Magnesium deficiency be related?

In ICU I was in what I can only describe as hell. I remember it as vividly as I write this. it was that real. when I "came to" there were two gorgeous nurses suspended above me in this weird sexual contraption that caused them a lot of pain until I both ejaculated and evacuated my bowels. As soon as I did they were released and one of them proceeded to use my.fecal matter as hair gel. That was day one. I had a delusion that I was nothing more than a prototype android made up of wires. my wife left me. I was only in this state for 14 days but I lived 4 years in my mind. every hellish day of four years. the rules didn't apply. all I wanted was a homemade lemonade and a smoothie. I spent two weeks in a desert finding one. I went demon hunting with my dead uncle. I was in three jet crashes. I saw heaven from a distance. it looked like a huge black twenty sided die. my Arnp was named Michael and I came to believe he was Saint Michael the Archangel. He was there to protect me from the demiurge. Laughter made me believe I was being mocked and I know I was letting the "N" word fly which is normally not in my vocabulary. by the end I was done. I had no reason to live. I was declining still.... until I heard my wife's voice on the phone. After that I was reinvigorated. within a week I was still messed up but could go home. I fought for it. a year later I'm scared of hospitals. people.in masks scare me. physically I still have a partially collapsed lung cirrhosis, and cardiomyopathy. I have to ask if some things really happened. strangely, I have some precognition but can't remember short term things

My mom's currently going through this. After being on the ventilator with pneumonia. For over a week, the Dr doesn't seem hopeful. She'll be to where she was before. But with covid restrictions, I'm unable to visit her. They want her to go to a rehab facility. Which I'm very scared of. Thank you for this video.

I respect your concern and message. Again thank you 😊 🙏

Thank yoou! I was in an induced coma and off the vent with ARDS for 5 weeks and nobody knows so thank you

Teacher : * explaining what it means within 2 hours * This man : *"Give me exactly 44 seconds"*

Doctor please talk about -Pump Head syndrome - after open heart surgery my life sucks

Is it possible for a patient to exhibit these symptoms for even a short stay (2 or 3 days) in ICU? I’m witnessing this behavior right now, but ICU encounters have not been any longer or shorter than 3 to 5 days, but there were about 4 or 5 ICU admissions over the past 16 months or so, and very frequent visits with different types of doctors. Thank you in advance.

Ahh BAMC. Was my go to for 15 years when living in SA. Great care.

Scott, I just went through delirium in the ICU. I wanted to see if I can use your definition of delirium in a documentary I am making.

I’m not in medical field but, had a theory on Covid delirium. I have sleep apnea if sleeping on back. I can avoid this by side sleeping. However, the 10-12 times this happened....I had horrific nightmare ish dreams that I was either being strangled or had an obstruction that was preventing me from breathing.. In my dream...am gasping, flailing in a room with other people not taking notice that I can’t breathe.....gasping and then in my NM realize “I’m sleeping”! In my dream.....frantically yelling to self. “WAKE UP BETTY! THIS IS A DREAM! WAKE UP, WAKE UP! In dream am biting lip, pinching/punching my arm or leg......screaming...WAKE UP, IT JUST A DREAM! When I finally do wake, it’s with a huge gasp for air. I believe the brain had gone into survival mode using dream scenario because brain was dying/flow of oxygen cut off. Funny, after all the lip biting and hard pinching trying escape nightmare, there are never outward sighs of bruising. This dream sequence has played out at least 10/12 X in 35 years. Just saying .....these induced Covid patients have such reduced levels .........brain is screaming for help! Hope this makes sense!

Thank you so much Doctor 😊

Thank you for the clarification!! Needed that a lot !!!

Love this video thanks for sharing sir

This video needs to be watched at every ICU center! All I was told about my mom was they thought she had that and nothing else which is what made me look up this video.

Great suggestions

What exactly is causing this in the icu if it’s becoming too common for many people that’s going in there to the hospitals or icu

There is no night and day in ICU. Torturors in prisons use no darkness as a means to induce delirium to get information so its not surprising it happens all the time in ICU. I'm glad at least this Dr. cares about delirium, but he doesn't really offer to do anything for ICUs to prevent it.

thank you man

thanks man, really have no idea why people complicate things.

Hey, hey! Your doing great hermano! I'm happy for you

Thanks :) *Monovalent - Having valency of 1* Ex - Chlorine , fluorine *Divalent - Having valencey of 2* Ex - Oxygen , Silicon *Trivalent - Having valency of 3* Ex - phosphorus *Tetravalent- Having valency of 4* Ex - Carbon *Tetra and tri valent are those whom he said Multivalent ( as these are those elements who have valency more than 2 )*

Exactly what I needed, thanks for the brevity.

if the video is short visualization would be a necessity for this type of content.

This was completely encouraging!!!! I wish you much success on your journey!

Hey! Looking forward to following your journey. I'm also a non-traditional pre-med :)
