@TheSGEM Thank you so much for having me on SGEM to talk about our telemental health paper. It was tons of fun!

Cohort study finds >1/4 emergency department patients ≥65y with #COVID19 have #delirium, and it’s associated with worse outcomes. Emergency providers must look for delirium & include COVID-19 in the differential of delirium. @MauraKennedyMD @sharon_inouye https://t.co/nhFLbfmA3i

Our daily update is published. States reported 907k tests, 61k cases, and 832 deaths. 39k people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19.

Similar to other diseases, older adults with COVID-19 will present with atypical symptoms, and delirium may be the first manifestation.

There remains scant evidence wearing a mask- especially improperly- provides much benefit to a healthy wearer.

However emerging data suggests facial coverings may prevent asymptomatic disease transmission to others.

We always follow and react to the data - @CDCgov is studying

I fear our best practices for #delirium and for care of older adults will not happen during #COVID19 use of antipsychotics and sedation will skyrocket. For many reasons. Some justifiable, many not. @jasonkarlawish @ElderLifeProg @NIDUS_Delirium @DrDaleNeedham @icurehab @HomeIcu

NYT article about COVID-19 and acute brain dysfunction. Delirium may also be the first manifestation of COVID-19 before any symptoms. We need to study this further. https://t.co/jtfvB51JqX

Damn. Soon COVID will have more coverage than T Mobile. Stay inside.

[Maura Kennedy @MauraKennedyMD]

@JinHanMD We are discussing exemptions for patients with dementia- a group at high risk of delirium. If the hospital setting isn’t deliriogenic enough, imagine all staff members you interact with being in masks and gowns.

A #PPE hack for those not used to wearing them too often. For disposal gowns, to prevent riding up and exposure of wrist, poke a hole with your thumb. Gloves on top. #COVID2019 @THP_hospital
