Delirium can lead to aggravating circumstances such as removal of invasive equipment , self- extubation and cognitive sequelae . Conclusion : Knowledge of the risk factors for delirium in patients in intensive care care by professionals is of crucial importance only that this neurological condition can be prevented , as well as early diagnosis and effective treatment can be achieved in order to improve the prognosis of these patients .
