Filter by:In population of intensive care unit (ICU), most studies compared atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine with the traditional haloperidol in delirious patients of various forms and etiologies. The role of such agents in patients with hyperactive is not fully understood. This study compares the effectiveness of quetiapine with haloperidol in treating the hyperactive form of delirium in terms of their effects on morbidity, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and mortality in critically ill patients.
Two-arm parallel-randomized pilot study and to collect data at the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Aalborg University Hospital. The aim is to assess the feasibility of a future randomized controlled study comparing Danish versions of 3D-CAM and 4AT in an acute medical setting. The primary objective is to assess 1) feasibility of obtaining informed consent and recruiting older adults within 24 hours of admission (or surgery) at the Department of Geriatric Medicine, Department of Acute Medicine, or Department of Orthopedic Surgery. Secondary objectives are 2a) to compare feasibility of recruitment and testing in the three different departments, 2b) to inform a preliminary evaluation of validity and reliability of the Danish version of screening instruments, and 2c) to obtain data on variance to support calculating sample size for a full-scale RCT.
Flumazenil rapidly antagonizes benzodiazepines (BZDs); it may induce agitation, seizure, or delirium, especially when applied to patients who have taken BZDs for a long time. On the contrary, it may help patients regain consciousness in a stable and calm state by appropriately reversing the central nervous system depressant effects of BZDs. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of flumazenil on the emergence delirium in patients anesthetized with remimazolam, the short-acting BZD drug.
This study aimed to determine whether targeting bispectral index (BIS) readings of 55 (light anaesthesia) was associated with a lower incidence of delirium, dementia (POD), POCD and mortality but higher rates of awareness and complications than a standard of care anaesthesia blinded to depth monitoring.
The present study will evaluate the role of melatonin prophylaxis in delirium prevention in elderly patients undergoing colorectal procedures.
This case-control study is planned to recruit patients who meet the enrollment conditions, receive cardiac surgery (cardiac valve surgery or coronary artery bypass surgery) and cardiopulmonary bypass, and sign the informed consent form in the second ward of adult cardiac surgery, Fuwai Hospital. Use RASS, CAM-ICU scales to evaluate postoperative patients and divide them into delirium and non-delirium groups according to whether they had delirium after surgery. There will be 30 patients in each group. Match the two groups in terms of surgical type, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, gender and age range (± 3 years). Collect and record the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the enrolled patients, including cardiopulmonary bypass time, ICU stay time, length of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamics and other data. Fecal and/or blood samples are collected from 60 patients before, immediately after and after operation. The laboratory test and analysis shall be started after the collection of clinical samples. Fecal samples are used for Metagenomics Sequencing and Functional genomics. Blood samples are analyzed by serum metabolomics for changes in intestinal metabolites entering the blood circulation. Simultaneous measurement of IL-6 and TNF in peripheral blood with serum samples- α, IL-1a,IFN-γ and LPS, D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase levels.Use Multi-omics approach to analyze the correlation between intestinal flora diversity, functional gene abundance and blood metabolites, inflammation level and intestinal barrier function, and to find the clinical evidence of the correlation between microbiota-gut-brain axis and the occurrence of POD in patients. Through comprehensive analysis of the research results of this experiment, access to literature, write papers, submit papers and publish relevant papers.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether perioperative use of low doses of opioids could reduce postoperative delirium .
Neurotrack™ is an FDA-approved device for measuring and tracking cognitive decline, as may occur with age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. The device uses a webcam (World Wide Web enabled camera) to assess eye-tracking as the subject views black-and-white images on the computer screen. The test takes less than 5 minutes to complete. This study will examine the feasibility and utility of pre-operative assessment of cognition using Neurotrack™ technology. The predictive value of Neurotrack™ will be compared to our previous work using pupillometry. The primary outcome is a measure of delirium in the recovery room and secondary outcomes include total length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and readmissions within 30 days of surgery.
We investigated the relationship between fasting times and delirium in children undergoing MRI under anesthesia. Paediatric Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale, last oral intake time and type of food (solid-liquid) and fasting time, laryngospasm, desaturation (SpO2 <95%), bradycardia, allergy, nausea and vomiting were recorded.
This Clinical trial tests the efficacy of using the PARO robotic seal to decrease agitation in hospitalized older adults with dementia and/or delirium. This clinical trial also tests the efficacy of the cleaning protocol for the robot. This randomized control trial includes a one hour interaction with the PARO robot two days in a row compared to an attention control with the researcher sitting with the participant in their room for one hour two days in a row. The outcomes being evaluated include both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data from videotaped interactions with the persons interacting with the PARO Robot include episodes of agitation, and emotional responses to the robot via facial expressions. The quantitative outcomes include the Agitation, use of 1:1 sitters, use of psychoactive medications and length of stay.
