Atropine, Scopolamine, and Ditran: Comparative Pharmacology and Antagonists in Man

“…The most accurate designation is delirium, an ancient but useful term implying restlessness, confused speech, and hallucination. In an excellant monograph, Wolff and Curran 7 made the point that delirium is a clearly definable psychiamric entity with diverse etiology. Its dominant feature is moment-to-moment variability.…”
