Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common adverse neurologic complication that can occur in patients of any age. Its incidence varies across age groups and is substantially influenced by patient-related risk factors. POD occurs in 17%-61% of major surgical procedures. Several risk factors which contribute to the development of POD include age more than 60 years, pre-existing cognitive dysfunction, presence of comorbidities, sensorial deficits, malnutrition, polypharmacy, impaired physical mobility and frailty. Postoperative delirium has several wide ranging and adverse outcomes that are consistently associated with delirium such as mortality, increased length of hospital stay, and increased hospital costs. A recently devised tool for rapid assessment of delirium is the 4 A's test. It has now been validated for identifying delirium in the surgical population. The proposed prospective observational study will be conducted on 150 patients belonging to ASA Physical Status I-III of either sex, scheduled to undergo non-cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia (GA), requiring at least 24 hours of postoperative inpatient care. This prospective, observational study aims to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of postoperative delirium in elderly patients more than 65 years of age undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Emergence delirium (ED) is a manifestation of acute postoperative brain dysfunction that occurs with a relatively high frequency after pediatric anesthesia. The incidence varies depending on the diagnostic criteria used and the combination of administered anesthetic drugs. The use of sevoflurane has been identified as one of the most important risk factors. In the investigators' study，the researchers conducted the current study to investigate whether remimazolam can reduce incidence of ED.
Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) can be observed after cardiosurgical interventions. Taken together, these postoperative neurocognitive dysfunctions contribute to increased morbidity and mortality and higher economic costs. Preoperative risk factors of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunctions, such as decreased neuropsychometric performance or decreased cognitive daily activities, can be interpreted as reduced cognitive reserve. The aim of this study is to build up cognitive reserves to protect against the development of POD and POCD through preoperative, home-based, cognitive training.
The project "QV-Delirium" is based on the decision of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) from 2017. The aim is to improve inpatient care for older patients who are undergoing inpatient surgery and thus to specifically reduce the postoperative risk of delirium. This is achieved through the implementation of evidence-based and consensus-based measures to prevent postoperative delirium in a comprehensive structured concept in routine care. The transparent documentation in an electronic patient file enables the relationships between the symptoms to be depicted in accordance with the clinical circumstances and the genesis of the postoperative delirium to be recorded and treated at an early stage.The independent Institute for Quality Assurance and Transparency in Health Care (IQTIG) receives the elements predefined (e.g. incidence of delirium) by IQTIG with which the quality is measured. The content of the additional elements from the routine data (see primary and secondary outcome measures) is merged internally and with BARMER and other health insurance data for a joint evaluation. Subproject 1: Preoperative evaluation of systolic and diastolic heart function in patients of the QV delirium cohort: In this process, this subproject relates to the evaluation of patients during the premedication visit. During the visit, an evaluation of the heart function using TTE should also take place in order to be able to evaluate later whether there is a association between the preoperative cardiac function examined and the development of postoperative delirium. The parameters to be collected are for the systolic heart function (LVEF, TAPSE, rest LV-SV and SVI, LVCO, LVCI LV / RV index, as well as for the diastolic dysfunction according to current recommendations (Nagueh SF et al., 2016) : MV DecT, MV E / A ratio, E'lat, E'sept, E ', E / E', IVRT-LV, S ', A', LAVI, tricuspid valve flow in tricuspid valve insufficiency: TR V max. Subproject 2 starts in April 2022: Anonymous quantitative employee (nurses and doctors) survey on the content of the quality contract with regard to employee satisfaction, feasibility, effectiveness, efficiency (cost-benefit balance), acceptance, needs, quality of the introduction, quality of the implementation.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most frequent complications after surgery in elderly patients, affecting between 20 and 40% of patients older than 60 after major surgery. This complication has huge consequences for the patients, families and society: increase of morbidity and mortality, prolonged length of stay, cognitive and functional decline leading to loss of autonomy, and important additional healthcare costs. Among numerous risk factors identified, perioperative inflammatory stress is a key element in delirium genesis: surgical trauma releases danger signals in systemic circulation, activating immune cells and leading to neuroinflammation. Melatonin is a neurohormone regulating circadian rhythm. But it also exhibits antioxidant and free radical scavenger properties, and regulates energy metabolism and immune function. It has already demonstrated a neuroprotective potential in various animal models. Its use against delirium is promising: it decreases delirium incidence in elderly patients hospitalized in medical ward, and several studies are now recruiting in ICU. The hypothesis of the trial is that in a high-risk population, perioperative melatonin can reduce the incidence of POD. The main objective is to evaluate the effect of perioperative melatonin administration on postoperative delirium incidence in the first 10 days after surgery, in elderly patients (over 70 years old) being hospitalized and scheduled for acute surgery of fractured lower limb (from femoral head to tibial plateau). This is a prospective, national multicentric (24 centers), phase III, superiority, comparative randomized (1:1) double-blinded clinical trial with two parallel arms: Experimental group: melatonin 4mg per os every night, starting the evening before surgery (or 2 hours before emergency surgery) and until day 5 after surgery. Control group: placebo of this drug with the same schedule, during the same period of time. The patients are aged 70 or older, hospitalized and scheduled for surgery of a severe fracture of a lower limb (from femoral head to tibial plateau).
The goal of this study is to determine if preoperative temperament is associated with postoperative pain, emergence agitation, emotional and behavioral changes, and overall parent satisfaction. This is a prospective observational study to assess preoperative temperament in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, gather demographic data, intraoperative data regarding surgical and anesthetic technique, and collect immediate postoperative data to assess pain, emergence agitation (EA), parental satisfaction as well as remote postoperative data to assess emotional and behavior changes. These data will be used to determine if patients with a specific temperament profile are more likely to experience increased pain, emergence agitation, emotional changes, and behavioral disturbances postoperatively.
In 2018, the severe medicine branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the American Society of severe medicine successively updated the pain and sedation guidelines for severe patients (PADIS guidelines). In addition to the update of the original evaluation and management of pain and sedation and delirium, the new guidelines also increased the monitoring and management of early activities and sleep quality for severe patients. Therefore, it is necessary for us to investigate the compliance of the new guidelines for analgesia, sedation and delirium management among the medical staff of critical care, so as to find out the existing problems in the management of analgesia, sedation and delirium in critical care patients, and find solutions to improve the overall quality level of our management of critical care patients
1. This clinical research aims to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and propofol on the treatment of emergence agitation in adult patients after general anesthesia. 2. Half of participants will receive dexmedetomidine while the other half will receive propofol when emergence agitation happens.
Our objective is to find an effective prophylactic intervention by evaluating IV acetaminophen's impact in reducing the frequency of postoperative delirium, one of the most common and detrimental complications of cardiac surgery in older adults.
