RESUMO
Delirium is an emergency and can have serious consequences. On the arrival at the emergency room of an elderly person, it should be systematically checked for confusional syndrome. If it is confirmed, a systematic and rapid etiological assessment carried out in the emergency room allows the identification of predisposing and precipitating factors. Therapeutic management is urgent, and includes treatment of the causes in the first instance.
