简要介绍：

This clinical guideline describes methods of preventing, identifying, diagnosingand treating delirium. In particular, the guideline focuses on preventingdelirium in people identified to be at risk, using a targeted, multicomponent,non-pharmacological intervention that addresses a number of modifiable risk factors (‘clinical factors’).If delirium is prevented, it should generate cost savings.This guideline does not cover children and young people (younger than 18 years), people receiving end-of-life care, or people with intoxication and/or withdrawing from drugs or alcohol, and people with delirium associated with these states. For more information see section 2 ‘Notes on the scope of the guidance’.The guideline will assume that prescribers will use a drug’s summary of product characteristics to inform decisions made with individual people.
