Risk factors for delirium following cardiac surgery are incompletely understood.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether intra-operative pathophysiological alterations and therapeutic interventions influence the risk of post-operative delirium.
In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, various intra-operative events, such as transfusion of platelets, were risk factors for the development of a post-operative delirium in the ICU.
Further research is needed to unravel the underlying mechanisms.
