Comment on Zaher-Sánchez et al. The Management and Prevention of Delirium in Elderly Patients Hospitalised in Intensive Care Units: A Systematic Review. Nurs. Rep. 2024, 14, 3007-3022.

Background/Objectives: The systematic review by Zaher-Sánchez et al. evaluated the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in preventing and managing delirium in elderly patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). This commentary discusses its importance, limitations, and dilemmas regarding delirium prevention. Conclusions: The need for effective measures for preventing delirium is imperative, and the findings to date support the benefits of non-pharmacological interventions, but we still do not have a sufficient body of evidence to choose specific interventions.
