Perioperative Multicomponent Interdisciplinary Program Reduces Delirium Incidence in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture
Team-Based Care Around Surgery Lowers Delirium Risk in Older Hip Fracture Patients
AI simplified
Abstract
The experimental group showed a lower incidence of delirium and postoperative hypoxia compared to the usual care group.
- Elderly patients with hip fractures are at risk for developing postoperative delirium.
- A nurse-led perioperative multicomponent interdisciplinary program was implemented for some patients.
- No statistical differences were found in baseline characteristics between the two groups.
- Delirium severity, duration, and mean hospitalization length did not differ significantly between groups.
- The program is suggested to be feasible and effective in reducing delirium incidence.
