    AbstractDeliria are a common phenomenon in clinical practise. Predisposing factors are age > 70 yr, dementia, substance abuse, and polypharmacy. Precipitating factors are just as varied and range from infections, dehydration, and surgical intervention to alcohol and drug withdrawal. Anticholinergic and/or dopaminergic substances may also trigger deliria. This review presents medical treatment options for delirium from current literature and points out substances, which may potentially cause deliria.
