Behandling og pleje, der retter sig mod patienter medskiftende bevidsthedstilstand og nedsat opmærksomhed, kan være en udfordring. Systematisk screening for delirium er derfor vigtigt, da syndromet ofte bliver overset eller forveksles med andre tilstande som demens, depression og angst. Delirium er altid en forværring af patientens tilstand, og detektion er en forudsætning for, at delirium kan behandles. I Delirium belyses mange af syndromets aspekter grundigt gennem forskningsresultater, mens løbende cases giver en patientnær forståelse af emnet. Indledende i bogen findes desuden en omfattende ordforklaringsliste over de begreber, som man ofte støder på og skal kende i forbindelse med deliriumtilstande. Forfattergruppen repræsenterer forskellige professioner med interesse for deliriumproblematikken. Dette giver en dynamisk introduktion til emnet og et samlet overblik over nyere viden om delirium, som kan være særligt relevant for studerende, sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter, neuropsykologer og læger, men bogen er anvendelig for alle i sundhedssektoren, der arbejder med patienter, som potentielt har delirium.
