The Pinch Me Pod – an MDT approach to delirium in hospital settings This is the ‘Pinch Me Pod’, a podcast resource from the Northern Health and Social Care Trust, to help explore the topic of delirium in detail, and what the multidisciplinary team can do to recognise and manage delirium in the hospital setting. Dr Stephen Collins, Doctor in Elderly Care Medicine, hosts this podcast series, alongside a panel of staff from across the acute hospitals in Antrim and Causeway, in Northern Ireland. Over the course of six episodes, we explore what delirium looks like for us in our own day-to-day work and the significant impact this condition has on patients, families and staff. As well as the lessons we have learned, we also discuss lots of tips on how you might be able to improve the level of care you provide to patients with delirium in your own work setting. We hope that this podcast will begin to answer some of the questions you may have and help you navigate the medical minefield that delirium can sometimes feel like.

The Pinch Me Pod - Ep4 - Agitation and Persistent Delirium

In this fourth episode, we consider what we can do to try and support patients with complex, difficult and prolonged cases of delirium that don't resolve as quickly or as easily as we would like them to. We consider the concept that behaviour of any kind is a form of communication that is often driven by a need, and we talk through the benefits of therapeutic interactions, including communication, validation, distraction and reminiscence therapies. We explore the role of the mental health liaison service and also consider, when all else fails, when it may be appropriate to consider pharmacological interventions. This series really encourages open and honest conversations in exploring the difficulties that can be encountered in an acute hospital setting as we seek to care for our patients with delirium.

We look forward to catching up with you in our next episode when we will be discussing how to communicate about delirium with family members and we hear directly from some families about the impact delirium has had on their loved ones.
