Active clinical trials for "Confusion"

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether markers of brain structure and function from MRI are associated with different levels of spatial orientation and gait parameters in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to Alzheimer's disease when walking through a real world environment.

Proposed is a demonstration project to characterize the immediate, short-term and long-term pain and other post-operative outcomes of 60, self-selected breast (n=20), caesarian-section (n=20) and abdominal (n=20) surgical patients who receive opioid-sparing, multimodal anesthesia and pain management care as guided by the ComfortSafe Pyramid.

The identification of a high atropine load of treatment received during hospitalization as a predictor of postoperative confusion could have various benefits: Pharmacoepidemiological: identify factors associated with postoperative confusion Clinics: by favoring treatments with a low atropine load during anesthesia, the management of patients hospitalized in orthopedics. Similarly, stopping or re-evaluating treatments with a high atropine weight for scheduled surgery is an easy step to take. Socio-economic: by reducing the costs related to the occurrence of a confusional syndrome (over-treatment, prolonged hospital stay, loss of autonomy, institutionalization of patients...). In total, the present study would improve the daily management of hospitalized patients and the practices of clinicians, by offering a decision-making aid.

After an operation many patients are in a confused mental status at the intensive care unit. In this status they possibly fall out of their bed or pull out endotracheal tubes or central venous catheters accidentally. For this, they need permanently monitoring and control through intensive care personnel. The goal of the VIPSafe project is to develop robust techniques for automated patient monitoring, that rely on data from a small number of untethered sensors, which are nonetheless flexible enough to cope with a large variety of demands.

A study will be conducted to determine if there is any cognitive benefit in elderly patients having open versus minimally invasive colon cancer surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determinate if the patients submitted to laparoscopic surgery in trendelemburg position develope more inadequate anaesthesic emergence than patients submitted to laparoscopic surgery in other positions.

This prospective observational multicenter study is intended to investigate the impact of sedatives on the decision capacity of intensive care units patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Thai version of the Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care (CAM-ICU) in the elderly and the prevalence of delirium in elderly.
