Guidelines on Delirium
Recommendations on Delirium Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Old Age
by Egemen Savaskan, Wolfgang Hasemann (editors)
Description
This interdisciplinary, interprofessional book outlines how delirium can be identified, prevented, and treated in the elderly.
Based on precise definitions, classifications, and distinctions, the authors set out their understanding of delirium as a cerebro-organic syndrome. They identify potential risk factors, causes, and the pathogenesis, prevalence, and incidence of delirium, quantify the costs of caring for people suffering from an acute confusional state, and present diagnostic screening and assessment tools and biomarkers to enable the early diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of delirium.
