Filter by:In the course of a scientific accompanying program, the project pursues the goal of gaining further insight into a possible connection between various influencing factors and the development of postoperative delirium. Against this background, in addition to the primary goal of exploring delirium rates, we aim to identify associations between other secondary end goals like the internal circadian time or the heart rate variability and the occurrence of postoperative delirium. For this purpose, patients of the QC-POD (NCT04355195) sample will be studied.
The study is a parallel group, double blind, randomized trial. Subjects will be recruited from individuals undergoing elective surgery for orthopedic, abdominal, urologic, gynecologic or spine reasons. Out of 92 subjects, one experimental group of 46 subjects will receive 20 mg Suvorexant beginning the first in-hospital night ("day 0") and continuing for their hospital stay. If the dose is not well tolerated (e.g., daytime sleepiness), then the dose may be decreased to 10 mg of Suvorexant. For blinding purposes each arm will receive two tablets (two 10 mg tablets or one 10 mg tablet and a placebo). The other control group of 46 subjects will receive placebo (two tablets) and treatment as usual.
Various pharmacological interventions in peri-operative period have been used in literature to prevent ED which include use of propofol, fentanyl, ketamine, clonidine, midazolam and dexmedetomidine etc (5). Dexmedetomidine is a potent highly selective alpha-2 agonist. Its effect on the receptors in brain results in sedation resembling non-REM sleep with minimal respiratory depression (6). It has been used as continuous infusion or as fixed dose in the range between 0.15 mcg/kg to 2 mcg/kg to prevent ED in children (7, 8, 9). Higher doses result in better prevention of ED at the expense of more hemodynamic disturbances and longer PACU stay (9) while lower doses were not as effective (7). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of fixed dose of 0.2 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine in prevention of emergence delirium in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This study aimed to investigate whether the association between the preoperative anxiety level and emergence delirium involves EEG frontal alpha asymmetry in pediatric patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesized that EEG frontal alpha asymmetry contributes a significant portion of the preoperative anxiety - emergence delirium association in pediatric patients. Mediation analysis will be performed to estimate the relationships between preoperative anxiety of children (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS)), EEG frontal alpha asymmetry, and emergence delirium (Pediatric Assessment of Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale).
Among patients with cognitive impairment (CI) that undergo surgery, the risk for developing postoperative delirium (POD) is high (50%) and associated with further morbidity and mortality. Yet, 30-40% of POD cases are preventable with perioperative management. This randomized pragmatic clinical trial aims to assess incidence of POD in adult surgical patients with CI, as well as provider adherence to a set of 12 perioperative best practice recommendations for perioperative management. Electronic health record (EHR) data will be used to identify patients as high risk for developing POD and clinical decision support (CDS) prompts within the EHR will display best practices. Cases will be randomized to either the control group, usual care or the intervention which includes the high-risk alert and best practice prompts.
Recovery period of general anesthesia refers to the period from the end of anesthesia infusion to recovery of the patient after the operation. In patients with general anesthesia, the depth of anesthesia is reduced in the early stage of recovery, the cerebral cortex is still in a state of inhibition, and the subcortical center is often in a state of high sensitivity to external stimulation. At this time, due to drug effects, pain, hypoxemia, undetected aspiration, pneumothorax, urinary retention, tracheal catheter stimulation, urinary tube stimulation and other factors, the patient will be induced to appear restless reaction, and cause drastic changes in hemodynamics. Especially for the elderly with organ dysfunction, it may increase postoperative complications, prolong hospital stay and increase hospital costs.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between the effect of nebulized dexmedetomidine and the effect of oral dispensable film (ODF) melatonin in controlling perioperative anxiety and post operative emergence agitation and their effect on the overall surgical experience.in pediatric patients undergoing day case surgery.
Perioperatively, patients experience an unnecessarily high level of side effects associated with their treatment. These side effects include nausea, severe pain, anxiety, and stress. Moreover, many patients develop postoperative delirium (POD) and neurocognitive dysfunctions, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairment, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. However, physicians, nurses and their institutions do not receive structured feedback regarding these aspects of each patient's well-being. They may therefore be unable to engage in the essential cause-and-effect learning necessary to evaluate and consecutively reduce such side effects. Effective guidelines conform prevention is the proven key to shielding our patients from adverse Outcomes. The Safe Brain Initiative's high-quality routine data-for-action is a sword and accelerator for moving towards patient-centred, precision care. Thus, establishing a foundation for value-based and patient-centred healthcare development. However, a turnkey real-world solution is challenging to develop and implement and requires substantial resources. As a result, such solutions are usually beyond the scope of a single institution. The SBI platform provides high-quality, real-world data to bridge this gap. It allows monitoring and in-depth analysis of cause and effect in the day-to-day routine of individuals, departments, and institutions. The SBI's approach is continuously improved and updated. An organization called the SBI Global Society oversees the quality and precision of science through experts in the field. At SBI Hospitals and Flagship centres, Masterclasses are conducted and can be attended alongside clinical immersions. SBI Solutions manages, develops, and provides technical and service support for the Safe Brain Initiative. Its service guarantees the professional and GDPR conform management of data handling and storage as well as the user-friendly functionality of the SBI-Dashboard solutions.
In view of the increasingly severe aging situation in China, the perioperative brain health of elderly patients has received increasing attention. Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative complication characterized by acute consciousness and cognitive dysfunction. The incidence of POD in elderly patients undergoing elective non cardiac surgery is 20%~45%, which often indicates poor cognitive recovery and becomes a heavy burden for family and society. Although the weight of human brain only accounts for 2% of body weight, the oxygen consumption accounts for 20% of the total oxygen consumption of the whole body. On July 2, 2022, the British Journal of Anaesthesia (Chinese Academy of Sciences Division 1, Anesthesiology Division 1, IF11.719), the top international Journal in the field of anesthesiology, published the scientific research achievements of the first author of the applicant. It was found for the first time that sevoflurane, the most commonly used inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice, can cause the activation of glycolysis and the increase of lactic acid in the brain of elderly non-human primate marmosets, which suggests that general anesthetics will affect brain metabolism in the perioperative period. Therefore, we hypothesized that perioperative changes in brain metabolism might be related to the occurrence of POD in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to study the relationship between the changes of brain metabolites and POD during perioperative period by noninvasive monitoring of the characteristics of brain tissue metabolites 24 hours before and 24 hours after the operation with hydrogen ion proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1-HMRS). In order to complete this purpose, this study plans to collect subjects aged 65~90 years who are scheduled to undergo oral and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia. The changes of brain metabolites before and after operation were collected by 1-HMRS, and the postoperative delirium related scale was evaluated to analyze the relationship between perioperative changes of brain metabolites and POD.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relationship between perioperative electroencephalogram and emergence agitation in the nasal surgery. Previous studies showed that low frequency band wave activity increased during emergence delirium in pediatric patients. It is still not enough to explain the relationship between emergence agitation and electroencephalogram in adults. Researchers will demonstrate the relationship between parameters related electroencephalogram and emergence agitation in adults undergoing nasal surgery.
