Delirium, a sudden state of confusion, is more common in older adults after surgery and anesthesia.
In practice
Strategies include minimizing anesthesia exposure and ensuring a quiet, familiar environment during recovery.
Where people slip
Delirium can make communication and recovery harder, so recovery teams watch older patients closely for any sudden confusion.
