Treatment and study plan

EuroSCORE II risk score and CAM-ICU (The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit)

Other

EuroSCORE II is used to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery. Where very low risk is <1, low risk is 1-2.99, moderate risk is 3-4.99, and high risk is >5.
CAM- ICU: The Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) is a tool used to assess delirium in patients in intensive care. The score ranges from 0-. Where 0-2 is no delirium, ≥ 3 is positive for delirium, 3-5 mild delirium, 6-7 severe delirium with 7 considered most severe delirium.
