Filter by:Participants aged 4-10 years (92 patients), who came to the Hospital Operating Room at the University Faculty of Dentistry with an indication for dental treatment under general anesthesia due to lack of cooperation, will be selected by simple randomization and divided into 2 groups. One group of participants who will undergo routine general anesthesia and dental treatment procedures will receive routine monitoring (Group I), and the other group will receive EEG monitoring (Group II) in addition to routine monitoring. Electrocardiography (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), endtidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), endtidal sevoflurane (EtSev) parameters observed as routine monitoring of the patients will be recorded and the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) value will be kept at 0.9. Anesthesia management will be performed, and in Group II, in addition to routine monitoring, anesthesia management will be carried out to keep the SEF values observed in the EEG between 10-15 and PSI values between 25-50. Routine general anesthesia procedures and dental treatments will not differ between groups. Age, gender, weight, intubation type, ASA, previous surgical experience, anesthesia duration, number of extracted teeth with decayed fillings (dmft) values will also be recorded. In the intraoperative period; hemodynamic parameters (average heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation values) and amounts of medication consumed (most tidal sevoflurane percentages in induction and maintenance, presence of burst suppression, sevoflurane/fentanyl/rocuronium consumption). The participants, whose operation is completed, will be taken to the recovery room and any post-operative discomfort will be noted. The cases will be recorded in the report form. In the postoperative period; Extubation time, agitation (PAED scores) and pain (FLACC, VAS-ORF) scores will be recorded during extubation and 10, 20, 30 minutes and 2 hours after extubation, and recovery time, hospital stay, presence of nausea and vomiting will also be recorded. Modified Aldrete Recovery Score (MAS) will be used for recovery criteria and MAS >8 will be considered as a recovery indicator. The Pediatric Anesthesia Early Delirium Scale (PAED) will be used to evaluate early agitation. FLACC and VAS-ORF scale will be used as pain scales.
Exploring the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) during the perioperative period on the incidence of postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and chronic postoperative pain in elderly patients, as well as its possible mechanisms.
The Sleep Optimization for Brain Health Outcomes in Older Surgical Patients (SLEEP-BOOST) is a pilot randomized, controlled, singled-blinded (participant) trial in major orthopedic joint surgery patients that will build on a previously clinically tested cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) mobile application paired with a wearable device (wrist actigraphy).
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.
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.
Prevention of Postoperative Delirium in the care of Elderly Patients. A Monocentric, Prospective Intervention Study With the Question of Whether the Incidence, Length and Severity of Postoperative Delirium Can be Reduced by Implementing a Standardised, Multidimensional Delirium Management Protocol.
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 proposed intervention will examine two alternative methods for postoperative pain control. Two treatment arms of this study will include subjects who receive an erector spinae block (ESP) after induction of anesthesia but prior to the start of surgery and subjects who will receive a high volume of local anesthetic infiltration at the end of the procedure before emergence from anesthesia. The control group of subjects will undergo spinal surgery with general anesthesia but without any regional anesthesia. Outcome measurements include evaluation of serum inflammatory markers, pain scores, opioid usage and standardized evidence-based assessment methodologies.
Postoperative delirium is a common complication after surgery. The underlying pathophysiology of this complication is unclear, however neuroinflammation and oxidative stress secondary to surgery had shown to be the cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and delirium. Erythropoietin represents non-erythropoietic effects of anti-inflammatory properties. The aims of this study were to determine the role of erythropoietin toward the development of postoperative delirium, in terms of changes in inflammatory reaction by affecting the innate immunity in elderly patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty surgery.
