Long Term Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in the Elderly Patients

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purposes of this study are to determine whether long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is occured after general anesthesia and anesthetic drugs have an effect on the result about POCD.

Clinical Trial Description

In present aging society, a surgery in geriatric patient is increasing. Patients older than 60 year are particularly affected for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) (26-41%). The patients experiencing POCD are at an increased risk of death in the first year after surgery. So, POCD is important because it can influence to patient's quality of life.

In the investigator's hospital, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed with increasing frequency in aging patients. So the investigator's study will be conducted in elderly patients during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The anesthetic methods are divided into the following 3 kinds: sevoflurane, propofol, dexmedetomidine. These anesthetic drugs are used in general anesthesia generally. The control group include a spouse of the patient which must be older than 60 year and does not have anesthetic history.

After the surgery, the patients are discharged from the hospital, the investigators will check the postoperative cognitive function 4 times: 1week, 3months, 6months, 1 year later using the Korean version of telephone interview for cognitive status (TICS). The Korean version of TICS was validated tool for examination of cognitive function and this tool and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) be linked directly. The test will be administered to spouse simultaneously by telephone.

Sample size was calculated for the primary outcome parameters (whether long-term postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is occured after general anesthesia), and the investigators hypothesized that two groups are in this study, one group is for postanesthetic patients, another is for their spouses. Total sample size was calculated to 190. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
