Filter by:The objective of this study is to test the effects of caffeine on neurocognitive and clinical recovery after major surgery. Specifically, this trial tests the primary hypothesis that caffeine will reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium.
Single-celled sequencing for evaluating differences in gene expression patterns in different cell types of the dynamics of a means of this research as a starting point, to study the postoperative delirium and chronic pain at the cellular level changes the contents of a cell, reveal its occurrence and development of the role of gene regulation, find targets and biomarkers, and to provide new ideas for its pathogenesis, To provide theoretical basis support for its prevention, clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Thi investigators aims to observe the impact of perioperative body temperature and the noise of operating room on postoperative delirium for elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery. And based on this study the investigators aimed to explore the potential risk factors of postoperative delirium for elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
The present clinical trial compares the effect of two general anesthesia (GA) modalities, the one with volatile anesthetic sevoflurane (endotracheal-intubated) and the other integrating total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol (non-intubated), on post-procedural delirium and cognitive dysfunction after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the participants with acute ischemic stroke. To assess the outcome of both modalities, the sedation depth of GA will be regulated with processed electroencephalogram monitor to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and the peri-procedural blood pressure will be controlled according to the guideline.Based on that, the investigators try to find a better general anesthetic modality for acute ischemic stroke participants undergoing EVT.
The study targets postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, with the aim to evaluate the functional baseline and proteomics implicated in pathogenesis, prevention strategies (such as anesthesia depth monitoring) and incidence in certain population groups.
Aortic valve stenosis is the heart valve disease with the highest prevalence among the elderly, and may lead to heart failure. Until recently, the only definitive treatment was surgical replacement (SAVR). However, the increased risk associated with the surgical procedure excluded patients with multiple co-morbidities. As the population is aging and more and more patients may present with aortic stenosis, the need of a less invasive approach has emerged. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) offered an alternative therapy for these high risk patients. This new method has seen worldwide acceptance, has been proven very beneficial for these patients, and therefore its indications have been expanded to intermediate risk patients, as well. Until recently, general anesthesia was the primary anesthetic technique for TAVR, but conscious sedation or monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is gaining more and more popularity lately. Our knowledge regarding the comparison between general anesthesia and MAC in TAVR procedures is derived mainly from observational studies and few randomized trials. MAC seems to be associated with less inotropic drug usage, shorter procedural times, shorter intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay. However, according to published data, there were no differences in 30-day mortality and complications between these two techniques. Even less are known about the most suitable anesthetic agent for MAC during TAVR. Many drugs have been used, with propofol and dexmedetomidine being the most popular. However, there are only few comparative studies and their results are not conclusive. This study compares MAC under propofol and MAC under dexmedetomidine for TAVR in order to examine which method of conscious sedation comes with more beneficial postoperative outcomes for the patients.
This study intends to verify and explore the correlation of neuroinflammation biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of elderly patients undergoing hip replacement with postoperative delirium, so as to achieve a new method to predict whether patients will develop postoperative delirium and improve the prognosis of elderly patients with postoperative delirium. Reduce the probability of postoperative complications, improve the long-term survival rate of patients after surgery.
In this study, patients with frontal glioma will be selected for preoperative neurocognitive assessment, APOE genotype detection, 3D structural imaging, cortical blood oxygen level dependent imaging (resting state + task state), and subcortical diffusion tensor multimodal MRI to explore preoperative brain structures and brain networks, and postoperative delirium will be assessed 1-3 days after surgery. The aim was to investigate the preoperative neuroanatomical basis of postoperative delirium in this population at the level of brain structure and network connectivity, and to predict the risk of patients by integrating cognitive indicators and neuroimaging markers in an event probability model to construct an optimal sequence of abnormalities in a series of markers, and then to establish a more population-specific subgroup prediction based on different APOE genotypes and the establishment of neurological compensation. The final clinical validation was performed on a small sample to provide a basis for the prevention of postoperative delirium in frontal glioma patients.
Many risk factors have been identified for delirium after open heart surgery . One of the main risk factors; duration of stay on mechanical ventilator . Our hypothesis; The use of sevoflurane during aortic cross-clamping reduces the need for long-acting intravenous anesthetic agents. Therefore, patients will be weaned from the mechanical ventilator in a shorter time. Patients with shorter stays on mechanical ventilation develop less postoperative delirium.
In the PATHFINDER 2 trial, the study investigators will test the intraoperative EEG-guided multimodal general anesthesia (MMGA) management strategy in combination with a postoperative protocolized analgesic approach to: 1. reduce the incidence of perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction in cardiac surgical patients 2. ensure hemodynamic stability and decrease use of vasopressors in the operating rooms 3. reduce pain and opioid consumption postoperatively
