Delirium is a true medical emergency that can masquerade as chronic dementia or functional psychosis and obscure the causative underlying physical or toxic disorder. In most cases, a well-focused history and thorough physical examination can unmask the delirium and reveal the medical or toxic problem.

The authors sought to determine whether subsyndromal delirium is a qualitatively distinct clinical entity or a spectrum of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. They conducted a prospective, longitudinal study on 325 patients in an acute care hospital with 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

Delirium is not a harmless transient event during ICU hospitalization; rather, it is a severe complication of critical illness associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and persistent disability. Despite being recognized for decades, it remains underdiagnosed. Employing validated tools for detection helps reduce missed cases.

Delirium in the perioperative period is a wide-reaching problem that directly affects important clinical outcomes. It is essential that anesthesiologists understand how to define and diagnose delirium, identify patients at high risk for developing delirium, recognize precipitating factors to appropriately adjust care plans, and manage patients who ...

Delirium is a common postoperative complication that is associated with substantial patient morbidity and mortality. Because of the variability in its presentation, delirium has the potential to be overlooked or misdiagnosed. There are few well-designed prospective studies looking at the incidence of delirium; however, retrospective data reveal it to ...
