Filter by:Postoperative delirium is a common complication that frequently occurs in elderly patients after surgery. It not only increases the length of hospital stays and healthcare costs but also raises the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and even mortality. However, the underlying mechanisms of its onset are not yet fully understood. Evidence suggests that smoking can lead to gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic dysfunction, and the gut microbiota and its metabolites play a crucial role in cognitive function through the gut-brain axis. Yet, no studies have reported whether smoking could affect the occurrence of postoperative delirium and the quality of postoperative recovery through the gut microbiota. This study aims to observe the incidence of postoperative delirium and the postoperative recovery quality scores between smokers and non-smokers.
This study aims to clarify the preventive effect of perioperative liraglutide application on postoperative delirium in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial that aims to observe the impact of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) on plasma TK/MMP3 in a randomized controlled setting. The intervention group received percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation, whereas the control group underwent conventional treatment. The primary objective is to enhance the management of postoperative delirium, specifically focusing on the occurrence and severity of delirium following thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. Additionally, various perioperative inflammatory markers, cognitive function, recovery quality, pain levels, anxiety, sleep patterns, postoperative complications, and overall hospital stay duration were monitored to elucidate the mechanisms through which percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation improves postoperative delirium.
This study is planned to check the effect of holy Quran recital on the development of delirium after conronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Different studies have been done before about the effects of non-pharmacological intervention on delirium after CABG, howvere, none was designed specifically to check the effect of Holy Qoyran on this outcome.
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.
①Effects of BIS Index (BIS) monitoring on delirium incidence in Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in patients undergoing general anesthesia ②Effects of BIS BIS Index (BIS) monitoring on the quality of nursing care in the Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)
This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of the postoperative delirium prevention, diagnosis and intervention protocol in patients monitored in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery.
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.
Background: Delirium is a common and serious condition in hospitalized patients that often leads to extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs. Accurate and timely detection is essential for optimal patient outcome. Aims: This study aimed to adapt the internationally recognized 4 AT Delirium Diagnosis Scale to Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this tool for the Turkish patient population. Design: This study was structured and conducted at a state hospital from March to June 2023. Methods: The study included 188 participants, determined through a power analysis. The 4AT Delirium Test and additional assessment tools were used to ascertain the delirium status of the patients. Comprehensive statistical evaluations were conducted using SPSS 25.0, which included analyses, such as item difficulty indices, item discrimination, and chi-square tests. Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Non-Interventional Ethics Committee, ensured full compliance with the ethical standards set by the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki. All participants provided informed consent before participation. Additionally, our results strictly adhered to the guidelines of the STROBE Checklist.
