Today we're following last week's episode on anaesthesia for NOF surgery with an episode focusing on post-operative delirium. These two topics go hand-in-hand but were way to big for us to tackle in just one episode.
We start by defining delirium and revising the DSM-V diagnostic criteria, and take a brief look at the different pathophysiological theories behind delirium, factors predisposing to delirium development, and the management of established delirium. We specifically address what we as anaesthetists can do pre-, intra- and post-operatively to try to reduce the risk of our patients developing post-operative delirium.
