Metabolic encephalopathy is a diffuse brain dysfunction caused by systemic illness, characterized by an altered mental state ranging from confusion to coma. Proper management in the ICU is crucial for patient recovery and involves a structured approach to diagnosis, treatment, and continuous monitoring. Early identification of delirium and addressing toxic-metabolic causes are essential to prevent long-term complications [1]. (Ref. Algorithm 6.1).
