Akute Verwirrtheit im Alter
Delirium in the elderlyPublikationsverlauf

Zusammenfassung
Das Delir zeigt bei hospitalisierten Patienten, je nach Patientenauswahl, eine Prävalenz zwischen 20 und 50 %. Ein Alter > 65 Jahre zählt hierbei als prädisponierender Faktor, weshalb man beim Umgang mit betagten Patienten häufig mit diesem Syndrom konfrontiert wird. 2010 wurde zwei Leitlinien zum Thema Delir veröffentlicht: die „NICE clinical guideline 103: Delirium. Diagnosis, prevention and management” und die S3-Leitlinie „Analgesie, Sedierung und Delirmanagement in der Intensivmedizin”. Der Artikel fasst für die klinische Praxis relevante Neuerungen kurz zusammen.
Abstract
Delirium occurs in 20 – 50 % of hospitalized elderly patients. An age > 65 years is one of the factors predisposing to the development of delirium, which is a common syndrome in geriatric medicine. Two clinical guidelines on this condition were published in 2010: NICE clinical guideline 103, „Delirium: diagnosis, prevention, management” and the German guideline „S3-Leitlinie Analgesie, Sedierung und Delirmanagement in der Intensivmedizin”. The article gives an overview of new aspects of delirium in the clinical context.
