Why might this be?
• Multimorbidity
• Cognitive impairment
• Polypharmacy
• Frailty
• Dependence
• Ageism?

• Late cancellations
• Length of stay

Who is at high risk of adverse outcomes?
• Poor functional recovery – Older people• Deterioration in function persisting up to 6months
• Poor cognitive recovery – Older people• Delirium, postop cognitive dysfunction, dementia
• Common, serious, distressing
• Poor experience – Older people• NCEPOD An age old problem, Francis report

…with clear communication…
Based on the history and cognitive testing Ms X has likely dementia. This raises the following issues;
a) CapacityDisplays capacity to consent to proposed procedure – but requires adequate time and clear
explanation
b) Delirium riskCognitive impairment and poor vision put Mrs X at risk of developing POD.
Patient has been counselled about this. When admitted please ensure that;
i) Trust delirium guideline is printed, filed in notes and followed
ii) Deliriogenic drugs are avoided where possible
iii) Adequate hydration is maintained
iv) Falls risk is assessed (using STRATIFY)
v) Day night routine is maintained
vi) Sensory impairments are optimised (I have told Ms X to bring in her glasses
c) Long term managementPlease could GP monitor and consider referral to memory assessment services.
