Summary

Many patients recall distressing delirium experiences, often involving fear and hallucinations. This recall is linked to more severe delirium and perceptual issues.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Delirium is a common, acute neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by fluctuating attention and cognition.
  • Understanding the patient's subjective experience of delirium is crucial for improving care and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence and nature of delirium experiences recalled by patients.
  • To identify factors associated with the recall of delirium experiences.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 203 patients recovering from delirium completed a questionnaire 24 hours post-recovery.
  • Data collected included recall of delirium experiences, distress levels, and common themes.

Main Results:

  • 35% of patients recalled their delirium experiences, with 86% reporting distress.
