Apparently, the future in POD treatment and prevention lies with complex strategies. Even though new drugs are constantly being developed and studies are being carried out on those that have long been used in practice, they will never be able to compare their safety with non-pharmacological measures of influence on the child. Creation in the perioperative period of a calm psycho-emotional environment, as close as possible to a comfortable one for the child, is, along with the elimination of all provoking factors, the key to the prevention of postoperative delirium. An increasing number of researchers are coming to such conclusions. It turns out that even such a simple therapeutic method as massage in the postoperative period can help in the fight against POD [90]. Of course, complex methods of prevention and treatment of delirium are immeasurably more effective. An example is the ADVANCE strategy presented in the above-mentioned ESA guideline [9]. It is interesting that it offers not only the traditional work of the medical staff with the child but also the use of various interactive technologies with the active participation of parents, which is of paramount importance for young patients.
