Definition
Confusion is the state of uncertainty about what is happening, intended, or what is required,
resulting in loss of orientation, ability to place oneself correctly by time, location and personal
identity. (Psora)
Causes
Confusion has multiple causes, including-
Environmental factors
Altitude sickness (Psora)
Dehydration (Psora/Causa occasionalis)
Heatstroke (Psora)
Hypothermia (Psora)
Injuries
Head injury (Causa occasionalis)
Medical conditions
Arrhythmia (Psora)
Brain tumor (Psora/ Sycosis/ Syphilis)
Complications from diabetes (Psora/ Syphilis)
Decreased hearing or vision (Psora/ Syphilis)
Decreased or blocked blood flow to the brain, as during a transient ischemic attack
(TIA) or a stroke (Psora/ Syphilis)
Electrolyte imbalances, such as low levels of sodium and potassium in the blood
(Psora/Causa occasionalis)
Heart attack (Psora/ Sycosis/ Syphilis)
Heart failure (Psora/ Sycosis/ Syphilis)
Hyperthyroidism (Psora/ Sycosis)
Hypothyroidism (Psora/ Syphilis)
Infection (Psora/ Syphilis)
Low oxygen levels from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary
embolism (PE) (Psora/ Syphilis)
Malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies (Psora)
Mental health problems, such as depression or schizophrenia (Psora/ Syphilis)
Metabolism problems from liver or kidney failure (Psora/ Syphilis)
Seizure disorder (Psora)
Shock (Psora)
Sleep problems, such as the inability to fall asleep, insomnia or sleep apnea (Psora)
Medications
Anticholinergics
Antidepressants
Antihistamines
Narcotic pain medicines
Sedatives and tranquilizers
Substance abuse
Alcohol or drug abuse or withdrawal (Causa ocassionalis)
Pathophysiology
Confusion may arise suddenly or develop gradually over time. Confusion is the result of severe
brain dysfunction (Psora). The following factors are implicated in cerebral perfusion
abnormalities associated with brain dysfunction-
Endothelial dysfunction, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, and reduced blood flow
have been implicated in cerebral perfusion abnormalities associated with brain dysfunction.
The response of the brain to inflammation, including activation of microglia and neuronal
apoptosis, leads to synaptic and neurochemical disturbances. Decreased availability of
acetylcholine during critical illness leads to decreased counter-regulatory activity in response
to inflammatory disease states, causing additional injury and further neurotransmitter
imbalances. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin excess and their respective amino acid
precursors are also associated with brain dysfunction.
Type of confusion
Confusion may be primary or secondary-
Primary confusion
Typically, the onset of primary conditions is insidious. Primary confusion is caused by a direct
pathology in the central nervous system-
Secondary confusion
Secondary confusion is caused by something else-
Mild Confusion
In mild confusion there may be disorientation for time, this means the patient does not know
where they are in time. This may be for the hour, day, month or year. (Psora)
Acute Confusion
Acute confusion or delirium has been defined as a state of altered consciousness in which
patients are bewildered and misinterpret the world around them. (Psora)
Severe Confusion
In more severe states there is disorientation for person, for example nurses may be believed
to be members of the patient’s family. (Psora/ Syphilis)
Progressive confusion
The severity of confusion may fluctuate during the course of the day. As the condition becomes
more severe place is also confused so the individual does not know where they are, often
believing they are somewhere else. (Psora)
Delirium
Delirium is characterized by a disturbance of consciousness and a change in cognition that
develop over a short period of time. The disorder has a tendency to fluctuate during the course
of the day, and there is evidence from the history, examination or investigations that the
delirium is direct consequence of a general medical condition, drug withdrawal or
intoxication. (Psora)
Delirium tremens
Delirium tremens (DTs) is the most severe form of ethanol withdrawal manifested by altered
mental status (global confusion) and sympathetic overdrive (autonomic hyperactivity), which
can progress to cardiovascular collapse. (Psora/ Causa occasionalis)
Unresponsiveness
It is the quality of being unresponsive, not reacting, as a quality of people, it is marked by a
failure to respond quickly or with emotion to people or events. (Psora/ Syphilis)
Intermittent confusion
Intermittent confusion is a mental state that comes and goes in which a person is disorientated
to time, person, or place. (Psora)
Diagnosis
General examination
Vital signs including orthostatic vital signs
Complete neurologic exam including- deep tendon reflexes (DTR’s), Cranial nerves
exam (CN2-12), motor, sensory, gait
Carotid and cardiac exam
Lung exam
Exam of the lower extremities
Diagnosis is made by use of a mental test score tool. Diagnostic criteria from the American
Psychiatric Association for delirium is as below-
Age
Time (to the nearest hour)
Address for recall at end of test
Year
Name of hospital patient is in
Recognition of 2 persons, (e.g. doctor, nurse)
Date of birth
Year of 1st World War
Name of present monarch
Count backwards from 20 to 1
Laboratory investigations
CBC
Electrolytes
Glucose level
Urine toxicology
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
24-hour Holter monitoring
CT of the head
MRI of the brain
Lumbar puncture for CSF analysis
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to cure the underlying cause and prevent recurrences.
