Overview
The concept of delirium has been evolving over centuries. Delirium was first identified in the 16th century. In the second half of the 19th century, delirium was identified by French workers as chaotic thinking and cognitive failure, clouding of consciousness, temporospatial disorientation. The definition of confusion and delirium was established by Chaslin and Bonhoeffer as the stereotyped manifestations of acute brain failure.
