  • Title: [Applying evidence-based practice: delirium].
    Author: Lai WY, Wan YY, Tien HC, Sue ML, Lin SY.
    Journal: Hu Li Za Zhi; 2011 Apr; 58(2):75-80. PubMed ID: 21455896.
    Abstract:
    Delirium often occurs in older hospitalized inpatients. However, it is frequently not diagnosed or prevented at an early stage. Delirium leads to poor prognoses and prolongs hospitalized days. This article integrates current evidence-based literature to summarize prevention, early assessment and management strategies for delirium. The authors further present a delirium management algorithm. The authors hope this study will provide a reference for healthcare professionals responsible for delirium patient care.
