Delirium Among Patients With Cancer in the Intensive Care Unit: Prognostic Sign or Opportunity for Intervention.

ABSTRACT

Delirium continues to be challenging for medical providers, patients, and caregivers. In a recent editorial, the authors review a retrospective analysis of critically ill, nonterminal patients with cancer admitted to a mixed medical-surgical ICU and discuss how these findings offer opportunities for intervention and goals-of-care conversations.
