Happy #WDAD2025 from Brizzie from @andyteodorczuk @EelesEamonn. Is the full caffeination and a ‘Good Chat’ a delirium prevention strategy?

Very informative study from Australia detailing staff experiences of caring for patients with #delirium Stark findings - delirium seen as uninteresting, unimportant and emotionally challenging. The need to support staff is clear as is to increase education pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39078153/

@A_MacLullich @sharon_inouye @GideonCaplan #delirium I'm looking for evidence of delirium prevalence in Hospital in the Home programs, is there any?
