Delirium Management Multicomponent interventions continue to be important in ensuring older adults receive good quality of care during their hospitalization. Routine use of dopamine antagonist medications is not recommended for the treatment of delirium; they should be used when necessary to provide safe care in a hospital setting. There is better evidence of effect for multicomponent interventions in the prevention of delirium. A recent Cochrane review found moderate-quality evidence that multicomponent interventions re-duce the incidence of delirium, compared to usual care, with similar effect sizes across medical and surgical settings.
