DISTURBED MIND AND DELIRIUM



  
 Restlessness, incoherence, illusions and an acutely disturbed state of mind is known as Delirium. Reduced awareness of environment and confused thinking are serious mental abilities which are the results of Delirium. Severity of this often varies over a short period of time. Although Delirium contains Hallucinations and Delusions this is not useful for the diagnosis. Brain dysfunction for any reason is a common manifestation of Delirium.
           

                Without proper establishment of usual mental function and a person’s history Delirium may be difficult to diagnose and it is easily confused with long term brain syndromes and with a number of Psychiatric disorders. Older adults are often affected by Delirium particularly after their surgery or if they are admitted in hospital. These people may get sudden changes and confusions in their behaviour.
                                


          Sedative-associated delirium is one of the most common types of Delirium. There is an increased risk of Dementia for those people who are affected by Sedative- associated delirium. Shock, Acute Respiratory failure or both are associated with Sedative delirium. Hypoxic and Septic Delirium are indicators of acute brain injury. Stay in Intensive Care Unit are said to have long term long term cognitive impairment. ICU Delirium can be prevented by using low dose Nocturnal Dexmedetomidine. Since most of the patients are affected by Delirium in ICU all patients were evaluated at least for one time in a day using confusion assessment method.
