Management of Delirium

0799_American Delirium Society’s Year-in-Review_Live_ 2025

November 24, 2025

Description: 

The Year-in-Review highlights the most influential delirium research published in the last 12-18 months. The primary purpose of this activity is to disseminate new knowledge gained through current research. The secondary purpose includes the facilitation of discussion intended to promote clinical advances through a change in clinician behaviors, improved collaboration among various disciplines or healthcare roles (i.e., established or early career researchers as well as acute, post-acute or community clinicians), and improved patient or population outcomes. Topics for this session include:

• Plasma biomarkers and delirium incidence

• Association between intraoperative EEG findings and delirium

• Biomarkers associated with postoperative delirium • Impacts of medication and anesthesia approaches to reduce delirium

• Metformin use and delirium

• Incidence of delirium in general medicine wards

• Persistence of delirium in post-acute care
