Abstract

This report describes how postoperative delirium in an elderly man during COVID-19 pandemic led to a serious event involving a central venous catheter. Delirium is a common cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality, and is characterised by an alteration in consciousness and perception and a reduced ability to focus, sustain or shift attention. The event was analysed by a multidisciplinary committee which developed a risk stratification delirium protocol in order to prevent similar events in the future.

Resumen

Este informe describe el modo en que el delirio postoperatorio en un hombre mayor durante la pandemia de COVID-19 causó un episodio grave en el que el catéter venoso central se vio implicado. El delirio es una causa común de morbilidad y mortalidad perioperatoria, caracterizado por una alteración de la consciencia y la percepción de reducción de la capacidad de centrar, mantener, o trasladar la atención. Dicho episodio fue analizado por un comité multidisciplinar, que desarrolló un protocolo de estratificación del riesgo de delirio, a fin de prevenir episodios similares en el futuro.
