Intensive Care Unit Syndrome
Abstract
When a person becomes critically ill, injured and/or undergoes major surgery and requires intensive care a complex dilemma may arise. The condition of the illness, the specific caring situa- tion, and the enviroment lead to significant changes and effects in the senses and percep- tional abilities. Under these conditions, some patients may develop symptoms of Intensive Care Syndrome/delirium (psychological disturbances or acute confusion). It is estimated that confusion develops in 50% of hospitalized elderly patients; however, it is often misdiagnosed because of inaccurate assessment and assumptions that mental deterioration is the result of the effects of aging
