Delirium management is much more than 'treat the cause'. Article: "Humanizing delirium care" A really useful concise guide. Open access. A lot of this is about engaging & communicating with each patient as an individual so that you can address their fears effectively.

Hypoactive delirium—characterized by withdrawal, lethargy, and decreased responsiveness—is missed up to 75% of the time. Why? Because these patients don't "cause trouble." They lie quietly, often dismissed as "just tired" or "a bit down." These are the patients we're failing

👩‍🏫 Education on #delirium is the most important priority to upscale delirium care and make good care the norm It's disturbing that many nursing & other healthcare training degrees don't cover it all Knowledge is our most powerful intervention!

"He's never been confused before." Family observations are so important in #delirium detection, especially in older people where healthcare staff are prone to making assumptions about baseline status. Make asking families about cognitive changes standard practice.
