Delirium in neonates and infants: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT: Delirium in neonates and infants is difficult to screen or assess because of their different developmental features and distinct delirium characteristics compared with those of older children. Some delirium management strategies, including assessment, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, and prevention strategies, have been previously suggested for paediatric delirium. However, whether these strategies are effective for delirium in neonates and infants is unclear.

This study will be based on the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for scoping revie
