Delirium is a complex clinical problem requiring a multidisciplinary approach in distinct phases. The main objectives in delirium management are to identify and control of predisposing and precipitating factors, calculate the patient's risk score for developing delirium and, finally, apply preventive measures and etiologic and symptomatic treatment.
