Abstract
Delirium is a common and serious complication of critical illness that has been increasingly recognized in pediatric patients. There have been several published cases of delirium in newborns and infants over the last decade, though research on neonatal delirium is severely lacking. The true prevalence of delirium and its associated consequences in this population remain unknown, although the risk of delirium in this population appears to be elevated compared to older youth. The current approach to management of delirium in neonates is extrapolated from older children. In the present review, the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of delirium are outlined. Strategies for prevention, evaluation, and management of delirium in neonates are explored.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine (formerly Seminars in Neonatology) is a bi-monthly journal which publishes topic-based issues, including current ''Hot Topics'' on the latest advances in fetal and neonatal medicine. The Journal is of interest to obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
The Journal commissions review-based content covering current clinical opinion on the care and treatment of the pregnant patient and the neonate and draws on the necessary specialist knowledge, including that of the pediatric pulmonologist, the pediatric infectious disease specialist, the surgeon, as well as the general pediatrician and obstetrician.
Each topic-based issue is edited by an authority in their field and contains 8-10 articles.
Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine provides:
• Coverage of major developments in neonatal care;
• Value to practising neonatologists, consultant and trainee pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives and fetal medicine specialists wishing to extend their knowledge in this field;
• Up-to-date information in an attractive and relevant format.
