[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it varies. FWIW, when my Mom was in a private room and had people she knew stay with her, hospital-related delirium was much likely to be present. (VS delirium related to anesthesia and the trauma of surgery.) Would it be possible for someone he knows well to stay at the hospital with him? And, seriously, the private room was a HUGE factor, likely related to having more control over the environment, less noise (no tv), and multiple factors like that. [/quote] Sorry, that should have been: much LESS likely to be present. And the disorientation lasted for several days, although it gradually improved. Familiar people and familiar surroundings helped a lot. [/quote]
