Popis: Delirium is perhaps the most aged-related postoperative complication, with 13-79% of older people, depending on the population group and type of surgery, experiencing postoperative delirium (POD).[1] Only in the last few years has POD been acknowledged by non geriatric specialists as a major postoperative complication. [2]The aims of this study were to explore the knowledge and understanding of anaesthetists and anaesthetic nurses on POD in older people using an online survey. This survey was adapted from a previous study [3] which sought to gain insights in Sweden on protocols and practices among anaesthesia practitioners.
