文摘

Recent data show that 20–80% of surgery patients are affected by delirium during inpatient clinical treatment. The medical consequences are often dramatic and include a 20 times higher mortality and treatment expenses of the medical unit increase considerably. At the University Hospital of Münster a multimodal and interdisciplinary concept for prevention and management of delirium was developed: all patients older than 65 years admitted for surgery are screened by a specialized team for the risk of developing delirium and treated by members of the team if there is a risk of delirium. Studies proved that by this multimodal approach the incidence of delirium was lowered and therefore the quality of medical care improved.
