We are all trying to combat delirium by all possible means. Getting pts their glasses and hearing aides. Keeping the lights on during the day. Having family around to speak to them. We’ve also had recent trials which have been quite disappointing using medications. Could there be a good cheap medication to prevent #delirium? This paper on using #melatonin is a strong meta analysis that looks into this and could potentially change my practice... but not for the reasons on the surface. I’ve even recently heard of using melatonin for sepsis, but that’s a discussion for another day and something else I’m going to dig into. Either way, a 🎩 tip to the authors.
