Overview

English summary: Delirium is one of the most important age-related diseases. Approximately 10-20 % of old people treated in hospitals are affected by delirium. Due to its unfavourable prognosis, the prevention of delirium is of growing importance. The practice-oriented book deals with the diagnostic and therapeutic approach on the basis of the most recent evidence knowledge, as well as current possibilities and guidelines for prevention. It includes sections on the history of delerium, epidemiology, the spectrum of symptoms and on etiology and pathogenesis. Case descriptions round off the work. German description: Das Delir ist eines der wichtigsten altersmedizinischen Syndrome, dessen potenziell ungunstige Prognose zunehmend erkannt wird. Mindestens 10-20 % der in Kliniken behandelten alten Menschen sind betroffen, aber auch in Pflegeeinrichtungen und bei Demenz sind Delirien haufig. In diesem Buch wird das Delir hinsichtlich Symptomenspektrum, Klassifikation, sowie Atiologie und Pathogenese behandelt. Diagnostisches und therapeutisches Vorgehen werden auf der Basis aktuellen evidenzbasierten Wissens besprochen. Gegenstand eigener Kapitel sind die Delirien bei Abhangigkeitserkrankungen sowie der aktuelle Kenntnisstand zur Pravention des Delirs. Zahlreiche Fallbeschreibungen, Tabellen und Abbildungen und die Erorterung aktueller uber das Delir hinaus fur die ganze Altersmedizin relevanter versorgungspolitischer Fragen stellen einen engen Praxisbezug fur alle in Geriatrie und Gerontopsychiatrie tatigen Berufsgruppen her.
