Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare Incidence of postoperative delirium in Sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The main question it aims to answer are: • Effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery Participants will be evaluated preoperatively for sarcopenia and assessed for postoperative delirium, pain, etc.
In the course of a scientific accompanying program, the project pursues the goal of gaining further insight into a possible connection between various influencing factors and the development of postoperative delirium. Against this background, in addition to the primary goal of exploring delirium rates, we aim to identify associations between other secondary end goals like the internal circadian time or the heart rate variability and the occurrence of postoperative delirium. For this purpose, patients of the QC-POD (NCT04355195) sample will be studied.
The observational study aims to discover differentially expressed circRNAs in the peripheral blood of patients with postoperative delirium, which aims to answer the main questions at: Whether there are changes in circRNA expression in peripheral blood in elderly patients with delirium after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery? Whether the circRNA with altered expression plays an important role in the occurrence and development of POD? What are the functions and underlying mechanisms of circRNA with altered expression in POD? Voluntary patients will receive follow-up 1 day before and 7 days after surgery to assess their cognitive function, and peripheral blood will be collected 1 day before and 3 days after surgery. The study divided patients into POD group and non-POD group according to whether delirium occurred within 7 days after surgery.
This international, multicentre prospective cohort study will assess whether perioperative duration and magnitude of mean arterial pressure (MAP) outside of an individual's cerebral autoregulation (CA) limits using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) are associated with adverse neurological events. It is to investigate whether patients with a higher burden of cerebral haemodynamic insults have an increased incidence or poorer neurological outcomes. Associations between neurologic outcomes, neurobiomarkers and genetic tests will be explored.
The objective of this study is to test the effects of caffeine on neurocognitive and clinical recovery after major surgery. Specifically, this trial tests the primary hypothesis that caffeine will reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium.
Single-celled sequencing for evaluating differences in gene expression patterns in different cell types of the dynamics of a means of this research as a starting point, to study the postoperative delirium and chronic pain at the cellular level changes the contents of a cell, reveal its occurrence and development of the role of gene regulation, find targets and biomarkers, and to provide new ideas for its pathogenesis, To provide theoretical basis support for its prevention, clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Thi investigators aims to observe the impact of perioperative body temperature and the noise of operating room on postoperative delirium for elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery. And based on this study the investigators aimed to explore the potential risk factors of postoperative delirium for elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
The present clinical trial compares the effect of two general anesthesia (GA) modalities, the one with volatile anesthetic sevoflurane (endotracheal-intubated) and the other integrating total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol (non-intubated), on post-procedural delirium and cognitive dysfunction after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the participants with acute ischemic stroke. To assess the outcome of both modalities, the sedation depth of GA will be regulated with processed electroencephalogram monitor to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and the peri-procedural blood pressure will be controlled according to the guideline.Based on that, the investigators try to find a better general anesthetic modality for acute ischemic stroke participants undergoing EVT.
The study targets postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, with the aim to evaluate the functional baseline and proteomics implicated in pathogenesis, prevention strategies (such as anesthesia depth monitoring) and incidence in certain population groups.
Aortic valve stenosis is the heart valve disease with the highest prevalence among the elderly, and may lead to heart failure. Until recently, the only definitive treatment was surgical replacement (SAVR). However, the increased risk associated with the surgical procedure excluded patients with multiple co-morbidities. As the population is aging and more and more patients may present with aortic stenosis, the need of a less invasive approach has emerged. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) offered an alternative therapy for these high risk patients. This new method has seen worldwide acceptance, has been proven very beneficial for these patients, and therefore its indications have been expanded to intermediate risk patients, as well. Until recently, general anesthesia was the primary anesthetic technique for TAVR, but conscious sedation or monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is gaining more and more popularity lately. Our knowledge regarding the comparison between general anesthesia and MAC in TAVR procedures is derived mainly from observational studies and few randomized trials. MAC seems to be associated with less inotropic drug usage, shorter procedural times, shorter intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay. However, according to published data, there were no differences in 30-day mortality and complications between these two techniques. Even less are known about the most suitable anesthetic agent for MAC during TAVR. Many drugs have been used, with propofol and dexmedetomidine being the most popular. However, there are only few comparative studies and their results are not conclusive. This study compares MAC under propofol and MAC under dexmedetomidine for TAVR in order to examine which method of conscious sedation comes with more beneficial postoperative outcomes for the patients.
