HI,your mother is in delirium mostly, it is very common in old age, bed ridden, seriously ill, post surgical etc.your mother is required monitoring of -tem/pulse/BP/respirationalso electrolyte testing needed.on treatment part low dose antipsychotic (haloperidol or olanzapine) and benzodiazepine (lorazepam- 1mg or 2 mg ) dose adjustment depend on patient's requirement.delirium is a emergency so it require treatment by physician and psychiatrist.yes, in delirium mortality is also high.follow advise of your doctor.thanks.dr ramashanker yadav md psychiatryyadavramashanker@gmail.com
