Product Description

Synopsis

Documented with over 2300 references, this monograph deals with all aspects of delirium. Clinical features, diagnosis, patho-physiology, etiology and treatment are discussed in detail, and the history of the disorder is detailed from the 5th century BC to the present. Delirium is a frequent complication of physical illness and its subsequent medical and surgical treatment in the elderly; thus, the book has much practical importance. An earlier version of this volume, "Delirium: Acute Brain Failure in Man" was published in 1980. This current version has been completely rewritten and updated.

Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
The term "delirium" stems from the Latin word delirare, which literally means to go out of the furrow (lira, Latin for furrow) but whose vernacular meaning is to be deranged, crazy, out of one's wits (1). Read the first page
