Filter by:Perioperative anesthesia can affect postoperative cognitive function. In our previous study, intraoperative dexmedetomidine (Dex) infusion reduced the incidence of delirium within the first 5 days after brain tumor. However, the mechanism is still unclear. With the development of neuroimaging, multimodal neuroimaging technology provide a new method to explore the underlying mechanism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the alterations of brain network under sedation and anesthesia by different anesthetics in patients with supratentorial glioma and their association with cognition.
The goal of this observational study is to learn the how to determine the mean arterial pressure(MAP) or blood pressure level to be maintained during non-cardiac surgery for optimal brain health in patients above the age of 60 undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a way to tailor the blood pressure to be maintained in such patients during surgery for optimal brain health using non-invasive monitors that check the brains electrical activity, the electroencephalogram(EEG) monitor, and the brain's blood oxygen levels, the cerebral oximetry(CO) monitor? - How much does this optimal blood pressure level vary between patients? Participants will be asked to: - Complete a questionnaire at the time they enroll into the study, as well as a daily questionnaire to help determine their level of thinking and brain health. This questionnaire will be administered by a member of the study team. - They will also have an EEG and CO monitoring sticker placed on their foreheads. This will be connected to a monitor that will collect this data just before, during, and after their surgery. The data collected through these monitors will help us with our study goals.
To determine the overall prevalence of postoperative delirium (POI) and its association with different risk factors in order to establish prevention plans to reduce its incidence and/or duration in Spanish hospitals. To this end, patients over 18 years of age who underwent urgent and scheduled surgery requiring hospital admission under any type of anaesthesia during two specific days will be recruited and pre-, intra- and postoperative data will be collected.
The investigator aimed to evaluate the incidence of postoperative delirium after remimazolam-based total intravenous anestheisa (TIVA) compared to the propofol-based TIVA in patients undergoing neurosurgery.
The goal of this [type of study: observational study ] is to [compare Energy differences in various bands of intraoperative electroencephalogram in elderly patients with postoperative delirium and non delirium.] in [describe participant population selected 69 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery for colorectal cancer on a selective basis]. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • [Is there any difference in the spectral range of EEG between POD patients and non POD patients] Participants will [Cognitive.•Postoperative delirium.•Preoperative weakness.]
The goal of this observational study is to compare the perioperative EEG characteristics and the incidence of short-term cognitive dysfunction in patients with postoperative delirium and non-postoperative delirium after elderly (> 65 years old) patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia. The main question it aims to answer are: • The correlation between postoperative cognitive dysfunction and postoperative EEG features was evaluated.• To analyze the correlation between EEG characteristics and clinical risk factors of delirium after major abdominal gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia in elderly patients.Participants will collect EEG before and after operation and collect the incidence of postoperative cognitive function to explore the mechanism of postoperative delirium and predict postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is common in elderly patients recovering from surgery and anesthesia. POD has adverse effects on early and long-term prognosis. The incidence of POD increases with age and patients with preoperative cognitive changes or coexisting diseases. The bispectral index (BIS) is an electroencephalographic measurement commonly used to monitor the depth of anesthesia. Low intraoperative BIS value (BIS<40) and prolonged duration of low BIS value maybe risk factors of POD. A small sub-study of BALANCED Anaesthesia Study demonstrated a protective effect of targeting a BIS of 50 to reduce POD compared with a BIS of 35. The stability of BIS during general anesthesia may affect the risk of POD in elderly patients. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a stable BIS value as much as possible during general anesthesia surgery, and a general anesthetic with good BIS stability is even more needed in clinical practice. Cyclopofol is a new type of anesthetic/sedative that reportedly provides good efficacy and safety. Cyclopofol has a more stable effect on BIS, so whether the use of cyclopofol in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery can reduce the occurrence of POD, improve prognosis, and exert a brain protective effect will be of great importance and clinical research value.
The increase in the population over 60 years of age who could receive surgery due to changes in life expectancy and advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques. Likewise, elderly people (EP) may have a higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality compared to young people, with frailty being one of the risk factors that increases adverse outcomes in this period and increases the probability of developing syndromes such as postoperative delirium (POD). Assessment of frailty in EP prior to surgery is not routine, so it is unknown how many frail and/or pre-frail EP undergo surgery in health care systems. There is an association between being frail and developing greater delirium and/or postoperative cognitive deficit, which in summary translates into an increase in perioperative morbidity and mortality. For the prevention of POD, there are pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures that seek to promote orientation with respect to their environment and make it as familiar as possible, stimulate early aspects of memory and thinking skills, as well as promote sleep using environmental hygiene measures. In Chile, protocols of non-pharmacological measures have been proposed by occupational therapy teams, which have had positive results in reducing POD in frail elderly patients. These measures are temporal-spatial reorientation, physical mobilization, correction of sensory deficits, environmental management, sleep protocol, and reduction of anticholinergic drugs with statistically significant results in the reduction of POD. In accordance with the above, the objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological measures applied by the nursing team in reducing the incidence of POD during the post-surgical period in fragile and pre-fragile EP undergoing elective non-cardiac surgeries. It is expected that in the end, frail and pre-frail EP who receive non-pharmacological interventions by the nursing team will present a lower incidence of POD at 24 hours compared to those who receive traditional care.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a transient and usually fully reversible altered state of consciousness that develops acutely or subacutely after surgery, characterized by widespread, daily fluctuations in brain metabolism and function. It can be seen as hyperactive (mania), hypoactive (depressive) and mixed type. It has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity, mortality, health expenditures and prolonged hospitalization in the postoperative period. In studies, the frequency of POD was found to be 17-51% in orthopedic surgery, 11-46% in cardiac surgery and 13-50% in non-cardiac surgery. There are many studies in the literature on advanced age, comorbidities (e. g; diabetes mellitus, stroke, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias), dementia, use of glasses-hearing aids, medications (anticholinergic, opioid, benzodiazepine etc. ), duration of anesthesia, type of surgery, electrolyte disturbances, perioperative bleeding, hypotension, pain and intensive care unite stay as risk factors associated with delirium. This condition, which has a multifactorial etiology, is often unrecognized, unpreventable, untreatable and leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is important to recognize delirium that develops in the postoperative period and to perform the necessary interventions. There are many tests used in the diagnosis of POD. Delirium tests; it evaluates the patient under many sub-headings such as orientation, memory, attention, visual and spatial ability. The gold standard method is DSM-V (North American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-V of Mental Disorders-V) to assess delirium status. There are also some other tests like DRS-R-98 (The Delirium Rating Scale--Revised-98) and 3D-CAM (3-minute diagnostic assessment for CAM-Confusion Assessment Method-defined delirium). In addition to patient assessment, these tests are useful for the clinician in the diagnosis of delirium. The aim of the study is to compare the DRS-R-98 and 3D-CAM tests used in the assessment of POD, and to evaluate their feasibility and the power detecting delirium.
Acute post-operatory cognitive dysfunction states are one of the most important complications in older patients that underwent surgery. Among them postoperative delirium (POD) is the the most studied. Patients who develop delirium have poorer long-term outcomes, such as longer length of hospital stay, institutionalization at discharge, and even higher mortality, and consequently, the human and economic costs significantly increase for the health system. Here the research team will use an observational cohort, investigator blinded in five-center with a primary endpoint to validate intraoperative EEG analysis as a reliable biomarker of postoperative delirium.
