View clinical trials related to Delirium on Emergence.
Filter by:- Delirium is a cognitive disturbance characterized by acute and fluctuating impairment in attention and awareness. Although its incidence in the general surgical population is 2-3%, it has been reported to occur in up to 10-80% of high-risk patient groups. In addition, the occurrence of postoperative delirium is associated with considerably raised morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare resource expenditure. - In the general patient population, no prophylactic pharmacologic treatment has shown widespread effectiveness in preventing delirium. Several studies have failed to find a magic pharmacologic bullet for preventing delirium-ketamine, haloperidol, propofol, antipsychotic and benzodiazepine drugs have recently tested without a clear result of its effectiveness. - Dexmedetomidine is an attractive pharmacologic option because of its biological plausibility in modifying several known contributors to delirium. - Up to investigators' knowledge, there is no study done to compare the effect of infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketofol mixture as prophylactic agents for high-risk patients as elderly patients who undergoing high-risk surgery such as intestinal obstruction surgery against postoperative delirium occurrence.
This prospective, randomised, double blinded, controlled clinical trial will be conducted in 147 patients between 60 yr and 70 yr , ASA physical status II and III, undergoing CABG. Patients will be randomly allocated to either dexmedetomidine or clonidine (control) groups .Upon arrival to ICU, in the dexmedetomidine group, patients will receive an infusion of 0.5-0.7 μg/kg/h then 1.4 μg/kg/h if Richmond assessment sedation score from +1 to +4 Taking into consideration if the heart rate less than 60 per minute or persistent hypotension reduce infusion rate by 0.2 μg/kg/h. Once the patient will be extubated, wean the infusion by 0.1μg/kg/h till reaching 0.2μg/kg/h. Slow the weaning rate if evidence of withdrawal reactions as agitation or hypertension occur. In clonidine group, the patients will receive 0.5μg/kg then 0.1-0.2 μg/kg/h.Primary end point of the study is the incidence of delirium.The secondary endpoints will be the the duration of extubation, the length of ICU stay, need for inotropic support or vasopressors, hospital stay , mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate , hospital mortality rate , all additional sedatives including overall doses of morphine and haloperidol the incidence of adverse events as bradycardia
Emergence delirium which is a phenomenon seen commonly in preschool kids anesthetized with Sevoflurane. Restless recovery from anesthesia may not only cause injury to the child or to the surgical site, but may also lead to the accidental removal of surgical dressings, IV catheters, and drains. is one of the The purpose of the study is to find whether duration of exposure to Sevoflurane has any effect on the incidence of Emergence Delirium.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the incidence of emergence delirium will be reduced when end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane decreases.
Sevoflurane is frequently used for pediatric anesthesia because it has low pungency and rapid onset and offset of action.The reported incidence of emergence agitation (EA) following sevoflurane anesthesia varies from 10-80%. Despite its spontaneous resolution, EA is still considered as a potentially serious complication because of the risks of self-injury, and because of the stress caused to both caregivers and families. Dexmedetomidine, an Alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic actions, has been used in pediatric populations.Several prospective clinical trials in children have shown that dexmedetomidine significantly reduces the incidence of EA prior to recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia. However, the effect of dexmedetomidine premedication on emergence agitation has not been fully evaluated. The purpose of the present study was to verify the hypothesis that intranasal premedication with dexmedetomidine is effective in reducing emergence agitation after sevoflurane anaesthesia.
Sevoflurane with its rapid induction and emergence, hemodynamic stability, and nonirritating airway properties, has acquired widespread acceptance in children. However, sevoflurane has been reported to be associated with emergence agitation in children, with a reported incidence of up to 80%. The purpose of this study is to verify that the prophylactic use of midazolam, which is a GABA A receptor inhibitor, given five minutes before the end of strabismus surgery reduces the incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children. Simultaneously, this study aims to find out the proper dose of midazolam with minimum disturbance to patient's emergence time.
