Future without delirium: not quite there yet but we can start by prescribing touch

The recently published article by Kotfs et al. “The future of intensive care: delirium should no longer be an issue”, brought us great interest and although we agree with the authors’ perspective this is still far from being reality. Despite delirium increase report as an adverse event, it is often faced on daily practice as a patient’s “weakness” or an inevitability due to acute illness that we fail to avoid. Tis perspective precludes multidisciplinary team effort from targeting the modifiable components of delirium mentioned in the paper.
