Postoperative delirium in the elderly Barbosa FT; da Cunha RM; Pinto ALRev Bras Anestesiol 2008[Nov]; 58 (6): 665-70BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Postoperative delirium is a common complication in the elderly whose pathophysiology is not well known. It seems to be related to central cholinergic activity. A literature review was undertaken to describe the etiology, diagnosis, prophylactic strategies, and treatment of postoperative delirium. CONTENTS: Probable etiologies, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of postoperative delirium in the elderly were described. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of postoperative delirium is higher in the elderly, and prophylactic measures should be taken to reduce the mortality associated with this complication.|*Delirium/diagnosis/etiology/therapy[MESH]|*Postoperative Complications/diagnosis/etiology/therapy[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH] |
