It usually takes some time for patients with delirium to recover. Generally, we can help patients to recover as soon as possible by clarifying the cause of delirium, strengthening daily care and medication.
1. Identify the cause of delirium: malnutrition, alcoholism, surgical anesthesia, severe infection and other conditions can lead to delirium. The cause of delirium should be identified as soon as possible under the guidance of the doctor, and treatment should be carried out according to the cause.
2. Strengthen daily care: pay attention to protect the patient’s safety, prevent self-injury and injury to others. Ensure the patient’s normal physiological function, ensure the patient’s safety, give the patient a certain amount of time or directional instructions, ensure a quiet and bright environment, and fully understand the patient.
2. Drug therapy: mainly for anti-psychotic drugs, generally there is Risperidone, olanzapine and so on. Nutritional nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B1 can also be used to improve the function of nerve cells.
It is recommended that when the patient is in delirium, medication and nursing care should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, and at the same time, the family members should face the patient with a calm state, so that the patient can get through the state of delirium as soon as possible.
