NCT ID: NCT05864677 Enrolling by invitation - Critical Illness Clinical Trials

Cerebrolysin in Prevention of Postoperative Delirium in Cardiac Surgery

Cereb-POD
Start date: January 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative neuropsychological dysfunction are frequently noted in critically ill patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery and treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Delirium is a serious complication that prolongs hospital stay and contributes to poor outcomes and increased risk of death. The pathomechanisms of delirium are still not very well recognized and there are several theories that seem to explain it. The most important pathomechanisms of delirium are associated with cerebral ischaemia, disorders in acetylcholinergic system, disorders in neuronal plasticity and oxidative stress. Cerebrolysin, a mixture of various peptides obtained from the structural proteins of the pig's brain, possesses strong antioxidative and neuronal protective properties. Cerebrolysin is recommended to treat patients with dementia, after cerebral ischemia and after brain trauma. It has been documented that Cerebrolysin reduces the severity of secondary brain damage after ischemia, improving neuronal plasticity and then cognitive function, and reducing severity of oxidative stress. Based on these properties it can be speculated that Cerebrolysin may reduce the risk of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing elective surgery, which are associated with a high risk of postoperative delirium.

NCT ID: NCT05453929 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Lumbar Spine Disease

Deep Neuromuscular Block on Postoperative Delirium in Lumbar Surgery

Start date: September 16, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The effect of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) during spine surgery reduced postoperative pain and bleeding in recent studies. Therefore by reducing these two factors, which were the contributing factors for postoperative delirium, deep NMB is expected to reduce the postoperative delirium. This study was designed to determine whether the deep NMB lowered the incidence of delirium after lumbar surgery.
