Abstract
The elderly patients admitted under surgery have longer lengths of stay and develop multiple complications during their hospital stay particularly with delirium, medical complications and functional decline. A Geriatrician’s input was helpful to identify incident and postop delirium early and put in measures to improve outcome, together with better nursing care and pharmacist’s input to reduce harm from medications.
