Abstract
After surgery, patient with craniotomy tent to have electrolyte imbalances because of electrolyte and osmotic disruption due to neuroendocrine center disorder. Unfortunately, it imbalances lead to agitation and restlessness that called delirium or acute confusion state. Delirium have high prevalence among post-craniotomy patients and be serious condition that have relation with prolonged length of stay, increasing of cost, functional recovery delay, increasing of nursing care, and increasing of mortality up to 10 times. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of electrolyte status with delirium occurrence on postoperative patient of craniotomy. This research is an observational correlation study with cross-sectional approach. It was done in RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin on postoperative patients of craniotomy in ICU from May until June 2018. The result of statistical test of alternative chi-square (Fisher exact) showed that there was significant correlation between electrolyte imbalances (p value 0,001) with delirium occurrence on postoperative patients of craniotomy. This study is a pathophysiology knowledge and evidence that can use to develop delirium-nursing management, especially on craniotomy patients.
