The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the use of a simple, reliable and cost-effective puzzle on post-operative cognitive function changes, postoperative recovery, and quality of life using questionnaires and face-to-face interview techniques.
The goal of this randomized, double blinded study is to examine in children whether postoperative agitation can be reduced. The main question it aims to answer is Will optimized, monitor guided analgesic treatment and dexmedetomidine reduce postoperative agitation Participants will receive a standard anaesthesia regimen and on top of that, a titrable remifentanil infusion guided via Mdoloris Anastasia nociception index (ANI) monitor will be added. Additionally, the patients will receive either bolus placebo or bolus dexmedetomidine. The postoperative agitation measured via the Richmond agitation and sedation scale (RASS) score, will be compared. Secondary outcome measures including carbon dioxide trends will be made.
This study is to explore the effects of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive dysfunction during one-lung ventilation in elder patients.
After an operation many patients are in a confused mental status at the intensive care unit. In this status they possibly fall out of their bed or pull out endotracheal tubes or central venous catheters accidentally. For this, they need permanently monitoring and control through intensive care personnel. The goal of the VIPSafe project is to develop robust techniques for automated patient monitoring, that rely on data from a small number of untethered sensors, which are nonetheless flexible enough to cope with a large variety of demands.
