Isi artikel

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older surgical patients and is associated with significantly prolonged hospitalizations, cognitive impairment, functional decline, and increased 6- to 12-month mortality rate. Postoperative delirium has a reported incidence from 10% to 70% depending on the criteria used for diagnosis, the population studied, and the type of surgical procedure. Higher incidences tend to be reported in the oldest, most medically complex patients after vascular, cardiac, or hip fracture operations. Skills essential for clinicians involved in the perioperative care of geriatric patients include the ability to (1) identify high-risk patients, (2) promptly diagnose POD, and (3) effectively manage patients with POD.
