This project is a multicenter pilot project to evaluate the therapeutic success in the long term up to 3 months after a delirium in a recovery room. There is a Europe-wide recommendation for the prevention of postoperative delirium in older patients and the evidence and consensus-based guideline "Management of delirium, analgesia and sedation in intensiv care medicine" of the AWMF (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften) are regularly updated for the detection and treatment of delirium in the intensive care unit. The aim is to evaluate the effects of a systematic delirium screening and the delirium treatment options in the long term in the same way as the current recommendations for the patient cohort of the recovery room.
