  • Summary

  • In this second episode, we explore the various triggers for delirium and what causes this acute confusional state, as well as consider some methods for preventing it.

    We consider questions such as can other medical conditions make someone more likely to get delirium and can multi morbidity play a part? Julie Magee, lead pharmacist, explores the role medications can play in delirium and highlights the importance of a medication review and assessing the anticholinergic burden in patients.

    Finally, we reflect on how promoting the Delirium Care Pathway and the Pinch Me memory aid can help us consider the multiple factors that can cause delirium, and help us make the most of the window of opportunity we have, when someone comes in to hospital, to bring about positive change.
