I think eventually the mass of delirium aware people will become so large that the non delirium people will be squashed under the mass of the understanding.

Mark Hudson brings you an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Heidi Lindroth, a Senior Associate Consultant Nurse Scientist at the Mayo Clinic and a leading figure in delirium research. This episode dives deep into the complexities of delirium, a condition that affects many ICU patients but is often misunderstood. Dr.
Lindroth shares her extensive knowledge and hands-on experience, aiming to create a world where delirium is better managed and eventually eradicated. They discuss the critical role of patient and family involvement in care, how preparation can mitigate the effects of delirium, and whether delirium is a singular condition or a spectrum of disorders.
