This session will discuss the burden of delirium among hospitalized patients, current preventive and therapeutic approaches to delirium, and the long-term impact of delirium. We will also discuss strategies for prevention of delirium in the hospital setting and how to recognize delirium in hospitalized patients, as well as pearls and pitfalls of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies to manage delirium and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). At the end of the presentation, the audience will be able to identify delirium, assess its severity, and appreciate the long-term adverse consequences of delirium.
