Filter by:The aim of this research is to confirm the effectiveness of remimazolam in preventing delirium during recovery from anesthesia in adult patients who have undergone one of the rhinological surgeries (septoplasty, rhinoseptoplasty or functional endoscopic sinus surgery). Patients aged 18-65, ASA classification I-II will be anesthetized with balanced anesthesia maintained with sevoflurane and will be randomized into two groups. The first group will receive remimazolam before anesthesia, while the second will receive normal saline solution. The main outcome of the study will be the presence/absence of delirium during anesthesia recovery, while the secondary outcome will be the postoperative pain level, the length of stay in the recovery room, the presence of unwanted events in the recovery room, and the presence of postoperative mood changes.
Emergence agitation (EA), a phenomenon observed at the time of recovery from general anesthesia (GA).The cause of ED appears to be multifactorial in origin. Use of volatile anesthetics, prolonged duration and type of surgery, pain, and rapid emergence are some factors known to increase its incidence
Exploring the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) during the perioperative period on the incidence of postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and chronic postoperative pain in elderly patients, as well as its possible mechanisms.
STUDY SUMMARY STUDY DESIGN The study will be conducted over twelve months in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT). This study is a mixed methods research design that includes the collection of data through qualitative interviews, quality-of-life questionnaires and patients' medical records. AIMS - Determine the incidence of ICU delirium in ICHT following cardiac surgery - Explore the compliance of outcome measures that diagnose ICU delirium - Implement a family-focused sensory stimulation programme in the ICU - Evaluate its useability and potential impact on patients, families and ICU staff STUDY POPULATION 30 study participants (12 patients, 12 family members/friends and 6 ICU nurses) ELIGIBILITY Study eligibility criteria are specific for each care group (patients, family members/friends and ICU nurses). DURATION 12 months at Hammersmith Hospital, ICHT
Emergence agitation; generally refers to a situation that may occur after a surgical intervention or anesthesia. This situation describes the irritability and agitation of the patient during the recovery process and the period of recovery from anesthesia. Recovery agitation may occur when the patient begins to recover and is usually a short-term condition. It resolves spontaneously. However, in some cases, this agitation may be more pronounced and disturbing. This may affect the patient's condition and relaxation. Rapid recovery from anesthesia in the clinic is also a risk factor for agitation. When the literature is examined, there are not enough studies on Bis suppression ratio and its relationship with recovery agitation is not yet known enough. For this purpose, our study aimed to question this relationship.
Some changes in the patient's cognitive state are observed during the recovery period from general anesthesia. This period of behavioral dysregulation has been called emergence agitation (EA) and emergence delirium (ED). ED and EA occur in the early postoperative period (often within the first 30 minutes). The incidence of ED ranges from 10% to 80% in children and is described as a distressing clinical condition by 42% of pediatric anesthesiologists. Self-harm by the child increases the risk of delayed discharge and may increase the cost of medical care. Sevoflurane is a widely used agent for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia, but its use is associated with the occurrence of ED in the pediatric population. Clinical findings are characterized by hallucinations, struggling, restlessness, crying, and disorientation. In the literature, the Pediatric Anesthesia Rescue Delirium (PAED) Scale Score is used in the diagnosis of ED and EA. This score consists of 5 criteria (maximum score 20) scored using 0-4 point scales. These criteria; The child needs to make eye contact with the caregiver, the child's movements are purposeful, the child is aware of the environment, the child is restless/angry, the child cannot be consoled. While the sensitivity of ≥10 points for the diagnosis of ED is 64% and the specificity is 86%, the sensitivity of >12 points for the diagnosis of ED is 100% and the specificity is 94.5%. Monitoring intraoperative depth of anesthesia in the adult population has been recommended by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) due to its potential benefits such as faster recovery time and lower drug dosage, as well as prevention of adverse effects such as the incidence of hypotension. The use of anesthesia depth monitors used so far for children is controversial because brain development in children has not yet been completed and the calculation algorithms of these indices are based on adult EEG characteristics. There are very few studies in the literature on the relationship between anesthesia depth monitoring and EA/ED in children, and further studies are needed.
This study aims to investigate the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in the PACU and analyze its influencing factors, in order to provide theoretical basis for early screening and intervention for high-risk POD population. Blood samples of some study subjects will be collected and analyzed using molecular detection methods to provide a basis and insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of POD.
Investigating postoperative delirium in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection surgery who have received or not received relevant transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation treatment preoperatively, observing postoperative recovery quality indicators, evaluating the necessity of treatment, and clarifying the potential mechanisms by which transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation may improve postoperative delirium.
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.
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.
