Abstract: Delirium, a common manifestation of acute brain dysfunction in critically ill patients (incidence ranging from 20-80%), is frequently induced by modifiable risk factors that emerge following ICU admission. Its presence correlates with extended ICU length of stay, elevated morbidity and mortality rates, unplanned device removal, and persistent cognitive deficits.
