This in-person only event will be hosted at the APA Headquarters (800 Maine Ave SW) in Washington, DC.
This course will review: reasons why all psychiatrist must know about delirium; delirium's diagnostic criteria (including new DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria); delirium subtypes, clinical presentation and characteristics; the benefits and limitations of available diagnostic tools; the proposed theories regarding its pathogenesis; the reciprocal relationship between delirium and cognitive functioning (both before and after delirium occurrence); and summarize the behavioral and pharmacological, evidence-based techniques associated with successful prevention and treatment strategies. While this comprehensive course will review what we know to date from a historical perspective, it will very much focus on the most recent approaches at understanding its pathophysiology, prediction, surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
Format
Live, interactive session
