Questions to help to see if a person with #delirium may have delusions:


"Do you feel that everyone is treating you well? Do you feel safe here?"

#MedEd

“She would lie in her bed really quietly. . . but she always had this frightened look on her face and when her family came to visit . . . they told us that . . . she felt really scared because she was seeing someone in the room with her.”

In this clip from the February @nidus-delirium.bsky.social webinar 'AI Applications in #Delirium Management,' Dr Sandeep Pagali talks about training an AI model with EHR data.

Watch the full webinar here: deliriumnetwork.org/webinars/

Why are we building complex AI systems to detect delirium from casenotes when we could just... do a 2-minute bedside test?

The 4AT exists.

It's well-validated (33 studies).

It's free.

Sometimes clinical medicine doesn't need machine learning.

A really fantastic thread on #delirium

🧵👇🏻

Of particular interest to me as I now do a regular trauma list, and will also soon be doing some medical student teaching on postoperative complications

🧵👇🏻

but this will be of enormous value and interest to anyone involved in perioperative care

Direct yet gentle questioning on hallucinations for people with #delirium:



 "Have you noticed anything odd recently, like seeing unusual or unexpected things?"

"You can't properly assess for delirium when someone already has dementia."


Wrong.


New meta-analysis (Keane et al. 2026): 4AT shows 88% sensitivity, 79% specificity in dementia populations.


5 studies. 1,304 patients. International data.

Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsides

#Delirium and the older surgical patient - See it! All clinicians involved in the perioperative pathway need to know who is at risk (frailty, emergency surgery are the bid risk factors) and build pathways that recognise and adapt to this risk.
