Filter by:Some changes in the patient's cognitive state are observed during the recovery period from general anesthesia. This period of behavioral dysregulation has been called emergence agitation (EA) and emergence delirium (ED). ED and EA occur in the early postoperative period (often within the first 30 minutes). The incidence of ED ranges from 10% to 80% in children and is described as a distressing clinical condition by 42% of pediatric anesthesiologists. Self-harm by the child increases the risk of delayed discharge and may increase the cost of medical care. Sevoflurane is a widely used agent for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia, but its use is associated with the occurrence of ED in the pediatric population. Clinical findings are characterized by hallucinations, struggling, restlessness, crying, and disorientation. In the literature, the Pediatric Anesthesia Rescue Delirium (PAED) Scale Score is used in the diagnosis of ED and EA. This score consists of 5 criteria (maximum score 20) scored using 0-4 point scales. These criteria; The child needs to make eye contact with the caregiver, the child's movements are purposeful, the child is aware of the environment, the child is restless/angry, the child cannot be consoled. While the sensitivity of ≥10 points for the diagnosis of ED is 64% and the specificity is 86%, the sensitivity of >12 points for the diagnosis of ED is 100% and the specificity is 94.5%. Monitoring intraoperative depth of anesthesia in the adult population has been recommended by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) due to its potential benefits such as faster recovery time and lower drug dosage, as well as prevention of adverse effects such as the incidence of hypotension. The use of anesthesia depth monitors used so far for children is controversial because brain development in children has not yet been completed and the calculation algorithms of these indices are based on adult EEG characteristics. There are very few studies in the literature on the relationship between anesthesia depth monitoring and EA/ED in children, and further studies are needed.
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.
Intraoperative hypothermia is common in patients having major surgery and the compliance with intraoperative temperature monitoring and management remains poor. Studies suggest that intraoperative hypothermia is an important risk factor of postoperative delirium, which is associated with worse early and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, perioperative hypothermia increases stress responses and provokes immune suppression, which might promote cancer recurrence and metastasis. In a recent trial, targeted temperature management reduced intraoperative hypothermia and emergence delirium. There was also a trend of reduced postoperative delirium, although not statistically significant. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that intraoperative targeted temperature management may reduce postoperative delirium and improves progression-free survival in older patients recovering from major cancer surgery.
The rate of postoperative delirium in patients who underwent cardiac surgery is very high. Different predictors and/or scores were studied for the prediction of Post Operative Delirium (POD)after heart surgery, but none of them was validated. The investigators aim to explore the role of pupillary alterations during anesthesia in open-heart surgery. The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate if pupil alterations during cardiac surgery, evaluated by an automated pupillometer (NPi-200) ( AP), could predict postoperative delirium.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent disorder of consciousness, arousal and attention in elderly patients following surgery. The glymphatic system is a newly discovered waste cleaning system of the brain. Glymphatic transport of CSF has been shown to be impaired by perioperative factors. Reduced glymphatic transport has been related to a vicious cycle of neuroinflammatory marker build-up, leading to increased glymphatic transport impairment, leading eventually to neuronal damage and hence cognitive impairment. Therefore, glymphatic transport impairment has been suggested to be an important mechanism underlying POD. But not everyone who undergoes surgery presents POD, so what makes certain patients susceptible to POD? It has been suggested that glymphatic transport may already be impaired at preoperative baseline, which, with the added burden of perioperative strain on the system, 'tilts' the patient into POD. The primary aim of the current study is to measure glymphatic transport in patients preoperatively and assess whether patients who present POD ('POD patients') show impairments in preoperative glymphatic transport, relative to patients who do not present POD ('noPOD patients'). Two aspects of glymphatic transport will be assessed using two noninvasive MR techniques - fast-acquisition BOLD-fMRI and DTI-MR. POD will be assessed using the 3D-CAM questionnaire and patients will also be assessed preoperatively for symptoms of depression, state/trait anxiety and cognitive status using standardised self-report measures.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial in children 3-9 years of age undergoing myringotomies at Washington University in St. Louis to assess the impact of perioperative personalized music on the incidence of emergence agitation.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and severe complication in patients undergoing major surgery, especially in the elderly. POD has been proven to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, institutionalization, and high healthcare costs. This retrospective cohort study aimed to use machine learning methods to develop clinically meaningful models to support clinical decision making.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare electroencephalogram (EEG) guided propofol sedation versus standard care in paediatric patients aged 6-16 undergoing oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are whether EEG guided propofol sedation will result in: - faster wake up time - reduced time to discharge - reduced cumulative propofol dosage - lower incidence of intraoperative adverse events - no difference in intraoperative undesirable movement - lower incidence and severity of emergence delirium - lower intraoperative depth of sedation Participants will wear an EEG sensor (Sedline) prior to undergoing propofol sedation until they wake up post procedure.
Recovery and emergence agitation is a problem that occurs after anesthesia and requires urgent intervention. The effects of changes in EEG waves during anesthesia or undesirable deep periods in Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring on recovery agitation are the subject of this research.
