Filter by:Background: Delirium is a neurocognitive illness that has lately been connected to sleep difficulties. It is a stressful condition. is still not fully understood. A poor sleep burden and its progress were investigated in this study to determine their correlations with the risk of delirium following surgical procedures. Methods: Between August 1st and December 5th, 2023, 124 patients undergoing non-cardiac general anesthesia (mean age 63.68 ± 8.81 years [SD]; range 46-82 years) reported on their sleep characteristics. PSQI, 1- sleep duration, 2- sleep disturbance, 3- sleep latency, 4- daytime dysfunction resulting from sleepiness, 5- sleep efficiency, 6- overall sleep quality, and 7- usage of sleep medications were among these sleep characteristics. Seven component scores, ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), are obtained while assessing the PSQI. The global score ranges from 0 to 21 and is calculated by adding the component scores. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality. A three-day median follow-up time was used to analyze hospitalization records to gather data on new-onset delirium (n = 26). Approximately 124 people on average, with a mean.
The goal of this clinical trial (Balanced-2 study) is to compare light to deep general anesthesia using widely available brain monitors, to see if 'light' anesthesia could reduce rates of delirium, cognitive decline, and disability in older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium is the most common serious surgical complication, occurring in an estimated one in four older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium causes significant distress to patients and family, and is associated with prolonged hospital stay, physical disability, progression to dementia-like illnesses, and discharge to long-term care. Between 10 - 30% of adults aged 70 years and above have surgery every year, and preserving brain health and wellbeing is an important priority during this time. Older adults (aged ≥65 years, or Indigenous, Pasific patients aged ≥55 years) undergoing major surgery with general anesthesia (excluding heart and brain surgery) and able to provide consent will be able to participate. Participants will be randomized to two groups - a lighter general anesthesia group and a deeper general anesthesia group using processed electroencephalography (a brain monitor that provides information on depth of anesthesia using brain waves). The anesthesiologist will titrate anesthetic drugs according to the brain monitor. Participants will be followed up to determine if they experience delirium after surgery, and longer term impact of delirium such as cognitive and physical decline will also be measured. If found to be effect, this simple, cheap, and widely available treatment could reduce disability, preserve brain health and wellbeing of many older adults undergoing surgery worldwide, and save millions in healthcare dollars.
Intraoperative hypothermia is common in patients having major surgery and the compliance with intraoperative temperature monitoring and management remains poor. Studies suggest that intraoperative hypothermia is an important risk factor of postoperative delirium, which is associated with worse early and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, perioperative hypothermia increases stress responses and provokes immune suppression, which might promote cancer recurrence and metastasis. In a recent trial, targeted temperature management reduced intraoperative hypothermia and emergence delirium. There was also a trend of reduced postoperative delirium, although not statistically significant. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that intraoperative targeted temperature management may reduce postoperative delirium and improves progression-free survival in older patients recovering from major cancer surgery.
The rate of postoperative delirium in patients who underwent cardiac surgery is very high. Different predictors and/or scores were studied for the prediction of Post Operative Delirium (POD)after heart surgery, but none of them was validated. The investigators aim to explore the role of pupillary alterations during anesthesia in open-heart surgery. The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate if pupil alterations during cardiac surgery, evaluated by an automated pupillometer (NPi-200) ( AP), could predict postoperative delirium.
Prevention of Postoperative Delirium in the care of Elderly Patients. A Monocentric, Prospective Intervention Study With the Question of Whether the Incidence, Length and Severity of Postoperative Delirium Can be Reduced by Implementing a Standardised, Multidimensional Delirium Management Protocol.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent disorder of consciousness, arousal and attention in elderly patients following surgery. The glymphatic system is a newly discovered waste cleaning system of the brain. Glymphatic transport of CSF has been shown to be impaired by perioperative factors. Reduced glymphatic transport has been related to a vicious cycle of neuroinflammatory marker build-up, leading to increased glymphatic transport impairment, leading eventually to neuronal damage and hence cognitive impairment. Therefore, glymphatic transport impairment has been suggested to be an important mechanism underlying POD. But not everyone who undergoes surgery presents POD, so what makes certain patients susceptible to POD? It has been suggested that glymphatic transport may already be impaired at preoperative baseline, which, with the added burden of perioperative strain on the system, 'tilts' the patient into POD. The primary aim of the current study is to measure glymphatic transport in patients preoperatively and assess whether patients who present POD ('POD patients') show impairments in preoperative glymphatic transport, relative to patients who do not present POD ('noPOD patients'). Two aspects of glymphatic transport will be assessed using two noninvasive MR techniques - fast-acquisition BOLD-fMRI and DTI-MR. POD will be assessed using the 3D-CAM questionnaire and patients will also be assessed preoperatively for symptoms of depression, state/trait anxiety and cognitive status using standardised self-report measures.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial in children 3-9 years of age undergoing myringotomies at Washington University in St. Louis to assess the impact of perioperative personalized music on the incidence of emergence agitation.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and severe complication in patients undergoing major surgery, especially in the elderly. POD has been proven to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, institutionalization, and high healthcare costs. This retrospective cohort study aimed to use machine learning methods to develop clinically meaningful models to support clinical decision making.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare electroencephalogram (EEG) guided propofol sedation versus standard care in paediatric patients aged 6-16 undergoing oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are whether EEG guided propofol sedation will result in: - faster wake up time - reduced time to discharge - reduced cumulative propofol dosage - lower incidence of intraoperative adverse events - no difference in intraoperative undesirable movement - lower incidence and severity of emergence delirium - lower intraoperative depth of sedation Participants will wear an EEG sensor (Sedline) prior to undergoing propofol sedation until they wake up post procedure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Efficacy of low dose propofol(0.5 mg/kg) vs placebo given at the end of sevoflurane anesthesia for prevention of emergence agitation in pediatric patient undergoing MRI scan. The main question it aims to answer is "Can low dose propofol reduce the incidence of emergence agitation after general anesthesia?" Participants will be given propofol 0.5 mg/kg or saline according to the allocated group at the completion of MRI scan
