Confusional states in advanced cancer-a flow diagram

Averil Stedeford

Consultant in Psychological Medicine, Headington, Oxford

Claud Regnard

St Oswald's Hospice, Newcastle upon Tyne

The many potential causes of confusion, and the difficulty of accessing a confused patient, can make this an exceptionally complicated problem to assess, manage and treat. This flow diagram outlines an approach to confusion which emphasizes the need to assess fully, treat appropriately and to realize that confusion can be managed even in the face of irreversible causes.

Key Words: algorithms • confusion • neoplasms • palliative care
