Active clinical trials for "Emergence Delirium"

Postoperative delirium after total knee replacement surgery has been related to significant morbidity and mortality among high risk patients. Anesthetic care might play a role in the development of postoperative delirium. The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium between different intraoperative sedation regimen. Delirium assessment using standardized screening tools will be done every 8 hours after surgery.

The IPOD-B2 Study aims to understand the pathogenesis of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major surgery. The investigators will identify then correlate soluble biomarkers in blood and cerebral spinal fluid with changes in High Density-Electroencephalogram.

Delirium is an acute or subacute comorbid syndrome characterized by decreased awareness and cognitive dysfunction accompanied by attention deficit. It varies from 20% to 80%, depending on the report. If delirium occurs in intensive care unit, complications such as intubation tube and catheter removal that are not desired are increased, mechanical ventilation deviation is prolonged, and eventually the intensive care unit is extended. Prevention of delirium is therefore very important, but no medication has been found to prevent delirium. Recent studies have shown that pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the development of delirium, and as a result of the stimulation of the peripheral inflammatory reaction, proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL) -6, tumor necrosis factor- ), And IL-10) secretion, resulting in the induction of inflammatory responses of the central nervous system. In addition, sleep habits have been shown to affect the pro-inflammatory pathway, and sleep induction and inactivation of the pro-inflammatory pathway may be expected to prevent and treat delirium. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a highly selective a2-agonist with sedative and analgesic effects and reduces sympathetic response to stimuli. Compared to benzodiazepine and opioid, there are fewer side effects of respiratory depression. In animal studies, the possibility of intrinsic immune suppression of DEX has been demonstrated, and recent studies have shown that intravenous DEX administration reduces IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-a levels, resulting in anti-inflammatory effects. IL-6 plays a key role in neuroinflammation with both proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines, including infection, traumatic brain injury, ischemia, and neurodegenerative disorders. DEX plays a key role in IL-6 stimulated IL-6 And inhibits mRNA expression and thus has a brain function-protecting effect. In clinical trials, DEX administration compared with propofol decreased IL-6 secretion and decreased post-operative cognitive impairment in ICU patients after primary surgery. This is closely related to the formation of inflammatory complexes (Inflammasome). In addition, low-dose DEX infusion in patients with ICU at night has a low incidence of delirium during the ICU period, and studies have shown that sleep quality is improved in the DEX group in the mechanical ventilation group. Patients who did not undergo mechanical ventilation also reported improved sleep quality with prophylactic low-dose DEX. As such, the definitive mechanism has not yet been clarified, but the use of low-dose DEX is increasingly proactively used to improve sleep quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of DEX on the inflammatory pathway during nighttime after ICU admission and to observe the quality of sleep and the prognosis of delirium.

With blocks of lumbar and lumbar plexus, we can reduce the intravenous anesthetics usage. To offer an satisfied surgery process for patients, a proper sedation is necessary. So in this study, we want to investigate the influence of two different sedative drugs on outcomes of patients received hip replacement surgery .

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship of microRNA and postoperative delirium.

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)

POD has been reported to be associated with a large number of risk factors: age as POD occurs in 10% to 61% of those aged 65 or older, dementia, impaired left ventricular function, electrolyte disorder, alcoholism, smoking, high perioperative transfusion requirements, intraoperative pressure fluctuation, and use of benzodiazepine POD occurs mostly in some types of surgery, such as orthopedic surgeries, major gastrointestinal surgery, and major cardiovascular surgeries, surgery under general anesthesia, prolonged surgery, emergency surgery Previous studies done before to prove the efficacy of melatonin to decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients with multiple risk factors for POD as traumatic geriatric patients were concerned only with the type of surgery as hip replacement or with spinal anesthesia but no study was done before to assess the prophylactic effect of melatonin to decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium in geriatric patients under general anesthesia ,which represents an independent risk factor for POD. So,this double blinded RCT will try to fill this gap in literature.

Postoperative delirium is common after major surgery, and is associated with adverse outcomes. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have shown that perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine may decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients after either cardiac or non-cardiac surgery. However, neurosurgical patients are often excluded in clinical trials of postoperative delirium. In this prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms, ICU admitted adult patients after intracranial operation for brain tumor will be enrolled. Low-dose dexmedetomidine will be applied during the early postoperative phase. The investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose dexmedetomidine for prevention of postoperative delirium in this patient population. The primary hypothesis is that, compared to the placebo group, the prophylactic use of low-dose dexmedetomidine can decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium without significant adverse events in patients after intracranial operation for brain tumor.

A questionnaire on "Cognition and Attitudes of Nurses on Postoperative Deafness in Neurosurgical Patients" was initially formed through reference literature and expert opinions. The content includes two dimensions of knowledge and attitude, all of which are single-choice questions. There are 11 items in the knowledge dimension, 1 point for the correct answer, 0 point for the wrong answer, and 0 to 11 points for the total score. The average score is the average score and the score of the score is the average score. The average score is ≤60%. Knowledge; attitude dimension is 7 items, using the Likert 4 rating method, "very disagree ~ very agree" count "1 to 4 points", total score 7 to 28 points. A sample questionnaire survey was conducted among non-severe unit nurses in the top three hospitals in the province to understand the level of cognitive mastery of the neurosurgical nurses in the province and the current status of interventions, and to compare the attitudes of nurses with different academic qualifications, years of work and work experience to postoperative intervention. And the level of knowledge mastery. Patients who underwent surgery on the neurosurgery in our hospital from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2019 were used as the control group. After informed notification, the patients with the enrollment conditions were screened for Fried's debilitating phenotype and performed. Post-routine care; patients who underwent craniotomy in our department of neurosurgery from January 1, 2020 to June 31, 2020 were included in the intervention. Patients who met the criteria for admission were informed and informed consent was obtained. Develop an early rehabilitation process to guide patients to systematic early rehabilitation training. To compare the incidence of debilitating, sputum incidence (Nursing Delirium Screening Scale, Nu-DESC), sputum-related adverse events, Activity of Daily Living (ADL), patient satisfaction, etc. The clinical application effect of the early rehabilitation intervention system.

Sevoflurane is the agent of choice for induction and maintenance of day care anesthesia in children and has a wide acceptance among pediatric anesthesiologists. Emergence agitation (EA) is a frequent postoperative complication in pediatric patients receiving inhalational anesthetics with a rapid recovery, e.g. sevoflurane Magnesium sulfate is a non anesthetic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, Regional anesthetic techniques have major two benefits which are lowering anesthetic requirements intraoperatively and providing adequate postoperative pain relief. Magnesium sulfate is an adjuvant that alters the perception and duration of pain by serving as an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptors. Caudal injection of bupivacaine with magnesium sulfate in pediatric patients after inguinoscrotal operations provided adequate postoperative analgesia without producing many side effects. Caudal block with local anesthetic with or without adjuvants may prevent emergence agitation with effective postoperative pain management. So the aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of caudal versus intravenous magnesium sulfate infusions in controlling emergence agitations after inhalational sevoflurane anesthesia in children who will undergo lower abdominal surgeries. Participants and methods All participants will receive caudal block with bupivacaine 0.25% 1mg/kg dialed in 10 cm saline. The participants will be divided to 3 groups Bupivacaine group (B group) (group 1) N = 31 :- Magnesium sulfate caudal group (MC group) (group 2) N = 31 :- Magnesium sulfate I.V group (MV group) (group 3) N = 31 :- Postoperative assessment in the ( PACU):- The oxygen saturation (SO2), heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are monitored by the observer blinded to group allocation on admission and 10 mins till discharge (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60mints, time of discharge) from the PACU. Emergence agitations (Pediatric anesthesia emergency delirium scale (PAED) The presence of Emergence agitation and its severity will be measured using (PAED). The presence of Pain and its severity will be measured using FLACC scale. Time of first postoperative administration of fentanyl in mints Modified Aldrete score :- The discharge from the PACU will be measured using Modified Aldrete score.
