ICU psychosis
My father had sepsis and lung injury, he was admitted in ICU for 20days, he recovered from sepsis and lung injury but is affected by ICU psychosis. When we brought him home after discharge he became normal and then we stopped gradually giving Qutan 50 as suggested by our doctor (he told to give only if required otherwise not) day before yesterday again he behaved abnormal and we gave him Qutan 50 as suggested by doctor but he ia still behaving abnormal since 2 days. What should be done?

ICU psychosis is quiet common, especially in elderly. There are couple of things which need to be checked now, before he can be restarted on Qutan, like a complete hemogram, electrolytes. It would been helpful if you could have described more about that you mean by abnormal behavior
