In order to detect patients who become delirious after cardiac surgery in an early postoperative stage, an observational checklist was used. Fifteen patients were constantly observed during their 48-hour stay at the intensive care unit for postoperative care. Two (13%) male patients developed postoperative delirium according to DSM-III-R criteria. It was possible to detect these patients in an early postoperative stage (within 48 hours) by means of systematic observations of their behavior.
为了在心脏手术后的早期阶段检测出出现谵妄的患者，使用了一份观察清单。15名患者在重症监护病房接受术后护理的48小时内持续接受观察。根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订版（DSM-III-R）标准，两名（13%）男性患者出现了术后谵妄。通过对他们行为的系统观察，有可能在术后早期阶段（48小时内）检测出这些患者。
