Delirium Assessment
The Society of Critical Care Medicine’s 2013 pain/agitation/delirium (PAD) clinical practice guidelines recommend the Confusion
Assessment for the ICU (CAM-ICU) or the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) as the most valid and reliable delirium
screening tools, and that moderate- to high-risk patients be screened at least once per nursing shift.
ASE (Attention Screening Exam) is the second step of the CAM-ICU. While it is not specifically recommended for use by the SCCM
PAD Guidelines, it is a good tool to use while your unit is getting set up to do the full CAM-ICU. The results of the ASE may be
abnormal due to disease, drugs, or other causes.

If you are a CAM-ICU, ICDSC, or ASE user, please record the most recent CAM-ICU, ICDSC, or ASE assessment closest to 10 a.m. If
two scores were collected equidistant from 10 a.m., choose the earlier score. The CAM-ICU can be done while on or off
sedation/analgesics, and it is up to the clinical team to interpret the results of the delirium assessment in light of the presence
or absence of sedatives/analgesics.

ASE:
(Only for patients receiving mechanical ventilation and where CAM-ICU/ASE/ICDSC/Not Used in This Unit = A)
What is the patient’s
ability to pay The goal of this 10- to 20-second test is to determine if a patient can follow a simple command (pay attention) for
attention? that period of time. Inattention is the cardinal feature of delirium and must be present to diagnose delirium. For
centers not using the full CAM-ICU, conducting the ASE is a good barometer of the presence or absence of delirium.
This test may be abnormal due to disease, drugs, or other causes.
The exam consists of the provider reading the following sequence of letters:
SAVEAHAART or CASABLANCA or ABADBADDAY
The patient is told to squeeze the provider’s hand when the letter A is stated. An error is defined as no squeeze
with letter A or a squeeze on a letter other than A. The number of errors is counted. Inattention is present if the
patient commits more than two errors. If the patient squeezes on every letter or doesn’t squeeze on any letter,
then assign an error count of 10.
Enter the score closest to 10 a.m. If two scores were collected equidistant from 10 a.m., choose the earlier score.
Enter the number of errors, 0 to 10.
Enter UTA if unable to assess (i.e., RASS = -4 or -5 OR SAS = 1 or 2).
Enter X if the exam was not performed.
Enter NK if the exam was performed, but the number of errors is not known.
Enter NK if you don’t know whether the exam was performed.
The Society of Critical Care Medicine’s 2013 pain/agitation/delirium clinical practice guidelines recommend the
CAM-ICU or the ICDSC as the most valid and reliable delirium screening tools, and that moderate- to high-risk
patients be screened at least once per nursing shift.
If this is not yet feasible in your unit, we recommend that patients at least undergo the ASE once daily. The ASE is
