Göz cerrahisi sonrası beklenmeyen postoperatif deliryum

Kognitif fonksiyonlarda, hafızada, algıda ve düşüncede bozulmalarla ortaya çıkan deliryum; postoperatif önemli komplikasy- onlardan biridir. Özellikle yaşlı hastalarda iyileşmenin gecikmesi, mortalite ve morbiditede artış, hastanede kalış süresinin uzaması gibi durumlara yol açabilmesi nedeniyle risk faktörlerinin bilinmesi, önlenmesi ve tedavisi anestezistler için önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda göz cerrahisi sonrası hipertiroidizme bağlı olduğu düşünülen, deliryum gelişen hastada deliryuma yaklaşım tartışılmaktadır.

Unexpected postoperative delirium following eye surgery: (Case report)

Delirium, which is seen as disturbance of consciousness, impaired cognition, memory, perception and thinking, is an important complication seen in the postoperative period. Because it is related with poor recovery especially in older patients, longer length of hospital stay and increased morbidity and mortality; being aware of the risk factors, prevention and treatment of delirium is important for anesthesiologists. In this case report, we discuss the management of delirium in a patient after eye surgery, which we think is due to hyperthyroidism of the patient.
