Delirium

Abstract: cada vez mais comum entre pacientes hospitalizados e acomete, preferencialmente, pacientes idosos e debilitados.

“…Emergency departments, intensive care units and postoperative sectors have the highest rates of delirium, which can lead to a series of complications, including cerebral insufficiency and cognitive impairment after hospital discharge. 2 It is the most common form of acute brain dysfunction in Intensive Care Units (ICU) and occurs in about 70% to 87% of patients admitted to ICUs, where more than 50% are elderly. For many years underestimated and often unrecognized as a form of cerebral dysfunction, it is currently recognized as an important factor in morbidity and mortality in ICUs.…”
