Filter by:The aim is to evaluate the impact of visual projection of images of relatives or loved ones in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the immediate postoperative period, and its influence on the incidence and development of postoperative delirium. A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was designed in the immediate postoperative period of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. CONSORT guidelines were followed. A control group and an intervention group were established. In the intervention group, the patients underwent a visual projection, while the usual unit treatment was carried out with the control group. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, anesthetic, and surgical variables were also recorded. The postoperative delirium assessment scale used was the "Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit scale" (CAM-ICU). The projection of visual material could reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, although it cannot be established that it is effective as a treatment once the pathology is already established. The results obtained suggest that the visual projection of images is an effective and economical tool to address an increasingly incidental problem due to the aging of the population.
Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs. The aim of this study will be to evaluate whether the children's or parental preference with attending parent affects on the postoperative delirium of the children or not. The delirium of the children will be assessed by the Pediatric Anesthesia Occurrence Delirium Scale (PAED)
To observe whether preoperative olfactory training can reduces the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries, a prospective randomized controlled study method will be used in this study.
The goal of this observational study is to compare Incidence of postoperative delirium in Sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The main question it aims to answer are: • Effect of preoperative sarcopenia on postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery Participants will be evaluated preoperatively for sarcopenia and assessed for postoperative delirium, pain, etc.
In the course of a scientific accompanying program, the project pursues the goal of gaining further insight into a possible connection between various influencing factors and the development of postoperative delirium. Against this background, in addition to the primary goal of exploring delirium rates, we aim to identify associations between other secondary end goals like the internal circadian time or the heart rate variability and the occurrence of postoperative delirium. For this purpose, patients of the QC-POD (NCT04355195) sample will be studied.
Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been shown to significantly correlate with prognosis of many diseases associated with inflammation, but the relationship between FAR and POD is unclear. The investigators aimed to investigate the association between POD and FAR in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receiving DBS surgery. For this aim, the present study was conducted to provide a new method for the early recognition and perioperative management of delirium after DBS surgery in PD patients.
The study is a parallel group, double blind, randomized trial. Subjects will be recruited from individuals undergoing elective surgery for orthopedic, abdominal, urologic, gynecologic or spine reasons. Out of 92 subjects, one experimental group of 46 subjects will receive 20 mg Suvorexant beginning the first in-hospital night ("day 0") and continuing for their hospital stay. If the dose is not well tolerated (e.g., daytime sleepiness), then the dose may be decreased to 10 mg of Suvorexant. For blinding purposes each arm will receive two tablets (two 10 mg tablets or one 10 mg tablet and a placebo). The other control group of 46 subjects will receive placebo (two tablets) and treatment as usual.
The effects of preoperative anxiety and preemptive analgesia on PAED in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy surgery.
Postoperative delirium (POD) remains one of most common complication in elderly patients receiving surgery, which is characterized by acute and fluctuating change in the level of cognition and consciousness. Previous studies have shown that surgery and anesthesia-induced acute peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation may lead to delirium after surgery. Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) is a more easily accessible and comprehensive inflammation marker derived from monocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count, which has been investigated to assess the prognosis of cancer and infectious diseases. However, the relationship between SIRI and POD has yet to be investigated.
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.
