Filter by:Acute confusional states known as delirium frequently occur in Intensive Care Units (ICU), mostly after cardiac surgery, leading to serious consequences. Sleep deprivation has been described in ICU patients and is considered as a risk factor for delirium but its role is still unknown. It is therefore essential to identify whether sleep deprivation and more specifically REM sleep alterations could facilitate occurence of delirium in ICU.
With blocks of lumbar and lumbar plexus, we can reduce the intravenous anesthetics usage. To offer an satisfied surgery process for patients, a proper sedation is necessary. So in this study, we want to investigate the influence of two different sedative drugs on outcomes of patients received hip replacement surgery .
The purpose of this study is to analyze the Ketamine with its anti-inflammatory profile would be able to prevent cognitive disorders in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, since these disorders contribute to an impact on morbidity / mortality in this population.
The proposed Study validates the accuracy of the modified Confusion Assessment Method for the Emergency Department
This study is geared toward characterizing the recovery of brain activity and cognitive function following treatments of electroconvulsive therapy and ketamine general anesthesia.
This study will be a randomized double blind placebo controlled clinical trial among children undergoing adeno-tonsillectomy in KNH. The intervention arm will comprise Fentanyl given at a dose of 1ug/while the placebo arm will be given normal saline at a volume equivalent to Fentanyl dose, treatment will be administered approximately ten minutes to the end of surgery determined by the time when the mouth gag will be removed. The main outcome will be incidence of ED at the recovery room using Watcha scale and secondary outcomes will be delay in emergence time from anaesthesia and effectiveness of fentanyl in preventing ED.
The aim of the study is to identify the incidence of early postoperative delirium in intensive care patients after cardiac surgery and detect possible risk factors associated with increased risk for developing delirium after cardiac surgery.
Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are common complications after surgery and may affect elderly patients in particular. CogCheck, an application for tablet computers, was developed with the intention to assist preoperative risk screening for POD and POCD in surgical patients. The aim of this study is to generate normative data with cognitively healthy participants for the application.
The investigators aim to reduce the incidence of emergence delirium in children aged 2-7 years old by using two different doses of sevoflurane during inhalatory induction of anesthesia.
This study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative carbohydrate intake on perioperative neuroinflammation and development of delirium.
