INCIDENCE OF Delirium After Cardiac SURGERY Surgery

Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre234 enrolled

Overview

Delirium is a common problem that occurs after cardiac surgery. The incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery is estimated to be 26-52%, with a significant percentage being hypoactive delirium1-4.Postoperative delirium has been associated with higher hospital costs, longer lengths of hospital stay, increased likelihood of institutionalization, increased risk for dementia, and increased morbidity and mortality.5-7 . The overall purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and perioperative factors that predispose to cause delirium in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in our ICU
