This presentation highlights delirium as a time-sensitive medical emergency in older hospitalized adults, using a postoperative case to frame recognition, diagnosis, and action. It defines delirium, reviews burden and outcomes, explains key mechanisms, and identifies predisposing and precipitating factors. Emphasis is placed on CAM-based screening, targeted evaluation of reversible causes, proactive prevention, safe management, and discharge planning.
