  • Summary

  • In this third episode, we move on to the next step and focus on the management of delirium. How do we look after patients affected by delirium? Can we expect them to make a full recovery? And if so, how long does that process normally take? We recognise that the management of delirium is multifaceted and it is crucial that we aim to identify and treat the underlying causes. We also dip into some strategies we can put into practice when looking after patients with delirium, such as therapeutic activities, cognitive stimulation, and effective communication skills, as well as exploring the role that medications play. Finally, our Falls Coordinator briefly highlights the link that there can be between delirium and falls, and how we can reduce the risk of falls in patients with delirium on our wards.

    We look forward to catching up with you in our next episode where we consider complex and prolonged delirium in patients, where symptoms are not easily resolving.
