Delirium as a Predictor of Long-Term Cognitive Impairment in Survivors of Critical Illness (2010, background): “There are many candidate approaches to reducing the overall “dose” of acute brain dysfunction, from protocolization of care (58, 69) to specific pharmacologic strategies (23, 70–74), that might, in time, prove helpful for the preservation of cognitive function among the millions of ICU patients trea”
Geriatric Syndromes: Clinical, Research, and Policy Implications of a Core Geriatric Concept (2007, background): “Several recent intervention trials(99;121–124) have documented that 30–40% of delirium may be preventable, and intervention may also reduce delirium duration.”
Relationship between pain and opioid analgesics on the development of delirium following hip fracture. (2003, background): “Two studies employing geriatric consultation, targeting known delirium risk factors, and providing recommendations for pain management have recently demonstrated reductions in the incidence (22) and duration of delirium (23) following hip fracture.”
