| Core Tip |
Delirium represents the most common type of acute brain dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU). Despite no support from rigorous controlled studies, haloperidol and atypical antipsychotics have been for decades the main class of drugs used for its pharmacological management. Recently, large size studies demonstrated that antipsychotics do not significantly shorten the duration of delirium. However, because ICU delirium has multifactorial pathogenesis it is difficult to postulate that a single agent can be useful for all clinical contexts. In this manuscript we want to provide an overview of most recent pharmacological approaches for the ICU delirium treatment. |
