Delirium is commonly observed in critically ill patients and in those approaching death.Haloperidol and benzodiazepines (such as midazolam,lorazepam)have traditionally been used to manage delirium but have side effects that can be problematic.More recently,atypical antipsychotics have proven equally effective without troubling side effects of other drug classes.Dyspnea is best managed with close evaluation of the patient and the use of opioids,sedatives,and nonpharmacologic interventions (oxygen,positioning,and increased ambient air flow).Benzodiazepines,especially midazolam with its rapid onset and short half-life,are frequently used to treat anxiety.Morphine is the most common drug used for pain management.
