Chani Traube is a Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is a pediatric intensivist
and clinical researcher with a focus on delirium in critically ill children. She received her medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and completed her pediatric residency and critical care
fellowship at NY Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Traube is a founding member of the Weill Cornell Delirium Work Group, which developed and validated the Cornell Assessment of
Pediatric Delirium (CAPD), an observational screening tool used to detect delirium in critically ill children in PICUs nationwide. She is principal investigator for a series of research projects designed to assess risk factors for delirium, explore treatment options, and investigate the effect of delirium on pediatric
outcomes after hospital discharge. Dr. Traube hopes that by changing the PICU approach to sedation, mobilization, and delirium, we can improve the care we provide to critically ill children.
