Incidence of Postoperative Delirium After Cardiac Surgery in Adults.
Sponsor: Medical University of Gdansk
Summary
Postoperative delirium is an acute syndrome of mental deterioration characterized by acute onset and fluctuating course during the day. Very frequent delirium is a presage of other serious comorbidities i.e.: sepsis, acute kidney injury, circulatory and/or respiratory failure. A detailed knowledge of symptoms and early diagnose of delirium increase the chances of early therapy. To what extent the occurrence of postoperative delirium influences hospital therapy in the Cardiac Surgical Postoperative ICU in University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk is unknown so far.
