A transient delirium occurred at some time during a 48 to 72 hr postoperative period in patients recovering from elective surgery in an intensive care unit, and a disruption in circadian rhythms of the endogenous opiate/hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may represent an important component of post-operative psychological changes that are frequently observed.
