Diagnostik und Management des Delirs

Das Delir ist eine Erkrankung, die in der Definition häufig uneinheitlich verwendet wird und deren Auswirkungen u. U. deutlich unterschätzt werden. Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels wird die Bedeutung des Delirs in Zukunft weiter zunehmen. Die Therapie des Delirs hat einen multimodalen Ansatz, wobei nicht-medikamentöse Maßnahmen als wahrscheinlich genauso wertvoll wie medikamentöse Therapien gelten.
