Human kindness can significantly reduce the distress associated with #delirium. Eye contact, gentle words, reassurance, explanation of context - simple and quick to do, and very effective in improving the experience of the delirious patient. Build this into every interaction.

Skilled nursing care is obviously at the heart of excellent #delirium care. Isn't it odd that many nursing degrees hardly cover #delirium?

Let's talk intraop ketamine and postop delirium • At low doses (≤ 0.35 mg/kg), there was a lower incidence of postop delirium compared with patients who had not received ketamine. • No association was observed at higher doses (> 0.35 mg/kg). #anaesthesia #MedTwitter
