Postoperatif
deliryum diffüz beyin tutulumu ile karakterize bir sendromdur. Görülme sıklığı %9 ile %87 arasında değişmektedir. Nedeni tam
anlaşılamamakla birlikte, anestezi uygulamaları sırasında da sıklıkla
kullanılan antikolinerjik etkili ilaçlara bağlı olarak ortaya çıktığı
düşünülmektedir. Tanısı klinik şüphe ve gözlem ile konulabilir. Hızlı tanı
konulamadığında postoperatif deliryum postoperatif komplikasyonlar da artmaya, hastanede kalış süresinin uzamasına ve
morbidite artışına neden olabilmektedir.Propofol anestezi pratiğinde sık
kullanılan bir ilaçtır. Muskarinik reseptörler üzerine etkili olduğu
gösterilmiştir. Bu yazıda üst gastroitestinal sistem endoskopi işlemi ve Oocyte
pick up (OPU) işlemi için propofol uygulanmasını takiben deliryum gelişen iki
hastayı sunmayı ve postoperatif deliryuma dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık.

Postoperative delirium which is characterized
by diffuse involvement of the brain is a syndrome. Delirium incidence ranged
between 9% and 87%. It is thought that the cause is due to anticholinergic
drugs which are frequently used during anesthesia applications, together with
the fact that they are not fully understood. It can be diagnosed with clinical
suspicion and observation. If it cannot be diagnosed in a timely manner, postoperative delirium can
cause the increase postoperative complications, longer length of stay and much
higher rates of morbidity. Propofol is a commonly used drug in anesthesia
practice.It has been shown to
be effective on muscarinic receptors.
In this case report, we aimed to present two
patients with delirium during Upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy and Oocyte
pick up (OPU) procedure and drew attention to postoperative delirium.
