Let's always slow down & think carefully about the experience of our patients with #delirium.
Do they look worried/distressed/frightened?
Is there a critical care OT who would be willing to do a short talk (10-20 minutes) on financial support available for survivors for our network meeting please? It’s on the 22/4/26 and would be via Teams 🙏

Delirium develops over hours/days, dementia over months/years.
"Dad was fine yesterday, today he's a different person" = think delirium, not dementia progression.

Explain delirium in accessible terms: "The brain isn't processing information normally right now."
This helps families understand why repeating basics about what is going on, as well as being reassuring over and over again, can help the person experiencing #delirium.

Clinical tip on #delirium: it fluctuates - e.g. lucid one hour, confused or sleepy the next.
This cruel "rollercoaster" exhausts families & fools healthcare professionals.
Let's not be misled by moments of clarity. Review the notes for changes over the last 24-48 hours.

A feeling of loneliness or isolation is commonly reported in people experiencing #delirium.
Don't leave them feeling like this. Speak kindly, explain what is happening, involve family.

😔 When a person with #delirium is distressed:
🔭 look for & treat the specific causes.
💙 Also, try to reduce the level of distress right away: explain, comfort, reassure, ask family to attend.
💊 Use drugs only if needed.
Wonder why it is so often overlooked?
🙁 "Nobody told me or my family about delirium during my whole time in the hospital. Not the doctors, nurses, support workers - no one mentioned it."
-- Delirium survivor
⭐ Communication with patients & families about the diagnosis of delirium is ESSENTIAL for good care.

Annmarie Hosie sharing her experience of paediatric delirium aged 10. Felt safe when her father visited. Just “being”helped ++. Remembers the unique influence of kindness #DECLARED2025

“I want people to know that emotional aftercare matters too. Surviving sepsis is only the start – the effects can last long after the infection has gone.”
Lindsay was bitten by an insect on holiday, which turned into life-threatening sepsis: sepsistrust.org/sepsisvoices…

Let's stop using the term "Pleasantly Confused". There is nothing pleasant about it...#ADADECLARED2025

When caring for someone with #delirium, your approach matters as much as any medical intervention. Touch their hand gently. Speak with warmth.
Remember they're experiencing a terrifying reality where nothing makes sense.
