🤔 Delirium treatment is actually pretty complex. When we say 'delirium treatment' what do we mean? From finding & triggers, to maintaining physiological stability, to treating symptoms & reducing long-term complications, there is a lot to think about. I've cared for people

The typical nil-by-mouth schedule has been no food for six hours before surgery and only “free, clear fluids” until two hours before, then nothing in the final two hours. Nil-by-mouth rules need updating to implement SipTilSend, writes Prof Scarlett McNally bmj.com/content/388/bm…

The 4AT can be scored in patients who cannot speak or are too unwell to undergo cognitive testing. No patients are Unable To Assess (UTA) with the 4AT. This improves uptake and accuracy in diagnosis. See the 4AT website for more details.
