Active clinical trials for "Emergence Delirium"

In this study we wanted to determine if perioperative administration of olanzapine prior to knee or hip replacement surgery in high risk patients would prevent the onset of postoperative delirium.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether dexmedetomidine is effective in the treatment of emergence delirium of preschool children undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery.

The effects of preoperative anxiety and preemptive analgesia on PAED in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy surgery.

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To investigate if preoperative using of eye patch will decrease emergence agitation, and to provide a better method of decreasing emergence agitation to pediatric ophthalmic anesthesiologists.

Emergence delirium which is a phenomenon seen commonly in preschool kids anesthetized with Sevoflurane. Restless recovery from anesthesia may not only cause injury to the child or to the surgical site, but may also lead to the accidental removal of surgical dressings, IV catheters, and drains. is one of the The purpose of the study is to find whether duration of exposure to Sevoflurane has any effect on the incidence of Emergence Delirium.

This study evaluated the predictive value of β2-microspheres for postoperative delirium (POD) in the elderly after orthopedic surgery. For this purpose, the levels of β2-microspheres in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid were compared between the POD and non-POD groups.

Postoperative delirium is an acute and fluctuating state of confusion and disorientation with an incidence of 25-70% after cardiac surgery. Possible reasons for this multifactorial complication are hypoperfusion, cerebral microembolization and inflammatory response, which eventually lead to regional or global imbalance between cerebral oxygen demand and supply. Adequate cerebral blood supply depends sufficient blood supply via the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid arteries. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate if patients who develop delirium after open-heart surgery show differences in their cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in extracerebral arterial vessels compared to those patients without delirium.

The researchers are conducting a research study to see whether listening to music during an operation will have a positive effect on the way that children wake up from surgery/anaesthetic. It is a common phenomenon where children wake up unhappy, irritated and screaming (known as emergence delirium). Research have shown that music decreases anxiety and pain. The researchers want to see whether music can also influence a child's behaviour after emerging from anaesthesia. In other words whether they will be more calm and cooperative after listening to music while they are asleep during surgery. Should music have a positive effect, anaesthesiologists may use it in future to improve care of patients coming for surgery.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the incidence, risk factors and sequelae of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery in Singapore. The secondary aim of this study is to look for EEG markers of POD that may potentially lead to the development of a POD monitor.

The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness of post-operative delirium (POD) and post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), their respective risk factors and effective preparation and treatment options in a pre-clinical sample of patients attending a premedication outpatient clinic (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Berlin, Germany) prior to elective surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the awareness for POD/POCD as potential risk in consequence of the surgery is very low in patients, and that therefore easy to use measure for prevention are underutilized by patients.
