- Delirium postoperatorio. Una ventana hacia una mejoría de la calidad y seguridad en la atención de pacientes quirúrgicos EDUARDO TOBAR A. MARIO ABEDRAPO M. JAIME GODOY C. CARLOS ROMERO P. Medicina Delirium Key words older people acute confusional state postoperative complications Postoperative delirium or acute confusional state is a common complication among older subjects. Many factors in fl uence its appearance, such as preexistent problems of the patient, medication use, pain, the perioperative anesthetic management and the intensity of the in fl ammatory reaction to surgical trauma. Its consequences are a longer hospital stay, higher risk of complications and a long term derangement of functio- nal status and cognitive performance. The management of delirium is multifactorial, including the avoidance of precipitating factors, the maintenance of an adequate environment and the conscious use of neuroleptics. The prevention of delirium should be a priority that will improve health care standards. 2012 artículo científico 0379-3893 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=345531954015 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3455 Revista Chilena de Cirugía application/pdf Sociedad de Cirujanos de Chile Revista Chilena de Cirugía (Chile) Num.3 Vol.64
