Filter by:1. A questionnaire on "Cognition and Attitudes of Nurses on Postoperative Deafness in Neurosurgical Patients" was initially formed through reference literature and expert opinions. The content includes two dimensions of knowledge and attitude, all of which are single-choice questions. There are 11 items in the knowledge dimension, 1 point for the correct answer, 0 point for the wrong answer, and 0 to 11 points for the total score. The average score is the average score and the score of the score is the average score. The average score is ≤60%. Knowledge; attitude dimension is 7 items, using the Likert 4 rating method, "very disagree ~ very agree" count "1 to 4 points", total score 7 to 28 points. A sample questionnaire survey was conducted among non-severe unit nurses in the top three hospitals in the province to understand the level of cognitive mastery of the neurosurgical nurses in the province and the current status of interventions, and to compare the attitudes of nurses with different academic qualifications, years of work and work experience to postoperative intervention. And the level of knowledge mastery. 2. Patients who underwent surgery on the neurosurgery in our hospital from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2019 were used as the control group. After informed notification, the patients with the enrollment conditions were screened for Fried's debilitating phenotype and performed. Post-routine care; patients who underwent craniotomy in our department of neurosurgery from January 1, 2020 to June 31, 2020 were included in the intervention. Patients who met the criteria for admission were informed and informed consent was obtained. Develop an early rehabilitation process to guide patients to systematic early rehabilitation training. To compare the incidence of debilitating, sputum incidence (Nursing Delirium Screening Scale, Nu-DESC), sputum-related adverse events, Activity of Daily Living (ADL), patient satisfaction, etc. The clinical application effect of the early rehabilitation intervention system.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and other derived white cell markers as early markers of delirium and outcome after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) (such as aggression, restlessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety, depression) are common to most people with dementia at some point during their illness and represent an aspect of dementia particularly difficult to manage. There is growing attention to the therapeutic effects of natural environments on people's health. Exposure to natural environments (seeing greenery, hearing outside natural sounds) has been shown to enhance wellbeing, reduce depression, anxiety and stress levels, and decrease hospital length-of-stay for inpatients. Virtual Reality (VR) is a novel technology that uses a Head Mounted Display (HMD) to generate simulated immersive experiences that elicit perceptions and behaviors similar to those in real life and can make one feel as though they are truly present in another place. Based on scientific research, previous studies, and expert consultation, we created a library of VR experiences depicting calming nature scenes designed specifically for people with dementia. The objectives of this RCT are 1) to evaluate the effects of VR-therapy on BPSD and the hospital care experience of in-patients with dementia and/or delirium admitted to an acute care hospital, 2) to determine the usability, tolerability, and safety of VR-therapy for patients with dementia and/or delirium admitted to acute care, 3) determine the effect of VR-therapy on quality of life for patients with dementia and/or delirium admitted to acute care and 4) to explore a framework for introducing non-pharmacological therapies in acute care hospitals. Our hypotheses are 1) VR-therapy helps manage BPSD (e.g. decrease anxiety, aggression, depression, violent behaviors, incidents of wandering), and may decrease the amount and/or frequency of sedatives and anti-depressant medication administered and/or the number of incidents that require restraints, and the number of falls, in people with dementia and/or delirium admitted to an acute care hospital. 2) VR-therapy will improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia and/or delirium admitted to an acute care hospital (operationalized through conducting a validated instrument to measure quality of life for people with dementia). 3) VR-therapy is safe and feasible to administer to individuals with dementia and/or delirium admitted to an acute care hospital (with assistance from their circle of care members and/or caregivers).
Investigators investigates the effect of perioperative dexmedetomidine 0.5 ug/kg/hr followed by a postoperative continuous infusion fentanyl-based PCA(Patient-Controlled Analgesia) drug mixed with dexmedetomidine 0.2ug/kg/hr for two days on reducing postoperative delirium and postoperative rescue analgesics in elderly patients who undergo hip surgery. The other half of patients received fentanyl-based PCA only.
This study compares the efficacy of scoring models used in delirium prediction in patients applying to intensive care unit. The diagnosis of delirium is based on the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). The aim of this study is determine the sensitivity and specificity of three prediction models (Delirium prediction model for ICU patients version 1 [Predeliric version-1], Delirium prediction model for ICU patients version 2 [Predeliric version-2] and Early prediction model for delirium in ICU patients [E-Predeliric]).
Delirium is a common neurologic complication after cardiac surgery occuring in 30-50% of patients. The occurence of this complication is associated with worse outcomes, including prolonged length of stay in the ICU and hospital, increased morbidity and mortality. Considering great clinical significance of this complication, the search for early predictors of postoperative delirium remains an urgent task. The purpose of this prospective observational study is to test the hypothesis that metabolomic changes before and after cardiac surgery could be served as early predictors of this complication.
Delirium is a disturbance in attention and awareness that occurs over a short period of time. Delirium is common in critically ill patients, and poor sleep quality in the intensive care unit (ICU) often worsens delirium. We aim to lower delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) by using ramelteon, which is a drug used to improve sleep at night.
For a long time, delirium was considered a merely temporary dysfunction of the brain. Today, it is established that it is a brain disease associated with network dysfunction, neuroinflammation and impaired transmitter homeostasis in a multicausal model. Following an episode of delirium, many patients do not return to their prior level of cognitive and functional performance. In particular, failed or delayed diagnosis with consecutive inadequate therapy contribute to the development of long-term cognitive decline that may ultimately lead to long-term care. Stroke patients are a particularly common delirium-affected population (10-46% depending on severity). Despite the frequency and clinical relevance of delirium in stroke patients, diagnostic characteristics of common screening methods are unknown. Similarly, the clinical phenotype and risk factors of patients who develop delirium have not been adequately described. This study primarily aims to evaluate the diagnostic properties of established screening tools for delirium in a prospective cohort of well-characterised patients following ischemic cerebral events (either transient or manifest stroke). Secondary outcome criteria include predictors of post-stroke delirium (PSD) such as stroke location and size, pre-stroke cognitive functioning, ability to participate in daily routine activities and medical conditions.
B-FREE is a pragmatic, multicentre, cluster crossover trial evaluating whether a policy limiting the use of intra-operative benzodiazepine reduces post-operative delirium when compared with a policy of 'ad libitum' administration. The knowledge generated by this study will provide the basis for cardiac anesthesia practice guidelines.
More than 20% of patients over 60 years old develop postoperative delirium following non-cardiac surgery . Delirium increases morbidity and mortality , and may lead to long-term cognitive impairment . The underlying mechanisms behind delirium are not understood , endothelial dysfunction and disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB ) caused by perioperative systemic inflammation may play a important role in the development of delirium . This study intends to evaluate the relationship between neuroinflammation and postoperative delirium in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients . The results of the study are to identify risk factors and explore the biomarkers most closely linked to each step of the proposed pathway .
