Abstract:
At present, more and more elderly patients with lung cancer have been treated with surgery. Postoperative delirium, as a common and serious postoperative complication in elderly patients, can increase the incidence of postoperative complications, extend the length of ICU stay time and hospitalization time, and even increase the hospitalization mortality in severe cases. This article reviewed the high-risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of postoperative delirium in elderly patients with lung cancer, so as to provide reference for clinical management.
