Rol del Terapeuta Ocupacional en tratamiento de niños con delirium hospitalario infantil en unidades hospitalarias de Chile

“…En torno al Delirium Hospitalario infantil (dhi) existe escasa información, en comparación a la gran incidencia de casos que se ha dado con el transcurso del tiempo. Schieveld (2008) señala que existe un incremento de este síndrome de hasta un 40 % en niños admitidos en Unidades de Cuidado Intensivo Pediátrico (ucip), debido a que la etiología del delirium contempla una gama de factores. A esto se suma que, por efecto del delirium, las estancia en ucip pueden prolongarse en 2,39 días; además, los gastos totales de la hospitalización son 85 % mayores en pacientes que presenten el síndrome, en contraposición de quienes nunca han sido diagnosticados con éste (Traube, Mauer, Gerber, Kaur, Joyce, Kerson, Carlo, Notterman, Worgall, Silver & Greenwald, 2016).…”
