#delirium is present in 10% of older ED patients. It is an acute medical emergency, yet often goes unrecognized. This #JGEM article outlines common pitfalls in delirium screening and tips to improve identification of the high-risk condition #medtwitter

2/3 of EM docs under-diagnose #delirium, and 90% of older patients present with hypoactive delirium, ever wondered why that patient is falling asleep when you talk to them in the busy #ED? 🧐 @geri_EM @MauraKennedyMD @KevinBiese @SAEMonline #SAEM22

[AGEM @AGEM_SAEM]

Excellent talk @SAEMonline #SAEM22 from @StanichJessica of @MayoClinicEM regarding delirium and fall risk, found that 88% of falls in patients 75+ had #delirium. How do we better identify high risk pts in the #EmergencyDepartment?

ED #delirium associated with higher 30 day mortality in #geriatric patients. Maybe we should call #delirium acute brain failure, it is clearly a huge prognosticator in the ED. Thank you @lucasojesilva12!

@mfbellolio @theGEDC @NehaRaukarMD @StanichJessica @lucasojesilva12 @MayoClinicEM @minipixie26 The Knowledge Translation Pipeline highlights "able" as one prominent "leak" between what we know & what we do. As noted in @AGSJournal https://t.co/1NaRHWMoi9 another pitfall unmentioned is #EBM uncertainty re: what works to prevent/treat #GeriED #delirium @theGEDC @AmerDelirium

@csrussi Great way for an elderly person who falls in a hotel bathroom to call for help? 😬

Screening for geriatric conditions at the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) results in more tests and referrals but doesn't change high-risk prescribing. Having more than one AWV increases advance directive uptake slightly. #geriatrics https://t.co/3TP9N0fztA

Delirium is common presenting sign of COVID - 56% fever, 51% SOB, 50% cough, 28% had delirium. Sometimes in the absence of “Classic signs.” Should be a standard part of diagonostic algorithm. JAMA Netw Open. 2020 doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.29540

#COVID19 can be fatal for all ages but mortality is higher in #GeriED older adults. On Monday March 30 at 2PM #GEDC will host a webinar at https://t.co/iXJIFY36Oa reviewing unique considerations for this population. If you cannot join, video archived at https://t.co/jczMG5aeeJ

Here is a valuable decision support tool for older people with COVID. It relies on an assessment of frailty using CFS and a frank discussion of goals of care — 2 things Emerg docs need to incorporate into every assessment.@CAEP_Docs @HowardOvens @thomringer @GeriatricEDNews
