Active clinical trials for "Emergence Delirium"

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.

This case-control study is planned to recruit patients who meet the enrollment conditions, receive cardiac surgery (cardiac valve surgery or coronary artery bypass surgery) and cardiopulmonary bypass, and sign the informed consent form in the second ward of adult cardiac surgery, Fuwai Hospital. Use RASS, CAM-ICU scales to evaluate postoperative patients and divide them into delirium and non-delirium groups according to whether they had delirium after surgery. There will be 30 patients in each group. Match the two groups in terms of surgical type, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, gender and age range (± 3 years). Collect and record the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the enrolled patients, including cardiopulmonary bypass time, ICU stay time, length of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamics and other data. Fecal and/or blood samples are collected from 60 patients before, immediately after and after operation. The laboratory test and analysis shall be started after the collection of clinical samples. Fecal samples are used for Metagenomics Sequencing and Functional genomics. Blood samples are analyzed by serum metabolomics for changes in intestinal metabolites entering the blood circulation. Simultaneous measurement of IL-6 and TNF in peripheral blood with serum samples- α, IL-1a,IFN-γ and LPS, D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase levels.Use Multi-omics approach to analyze the correlation between intestinal flora diversity, functional gene abundance and blood metabolites, inflammation level and intestinal barrier function, and to find the clinical evidence of the correlation between microbiota-gut-brain axis and the occurrence of POD in patients. Through comprehensive analysis of the research results of this experiment, access to literature, write papers, submit papers and publish relevant papers.

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.

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that, for older orthopedic patients who developed postoperative delirium, combining buccal acupuncture with routine care will shorten delirium duration and relieve delirium severity.

To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.

Postoperative agitation and emergence delirium describe a spectrum of symptoms of early postoperative negative behavior, in which the child experiences a variety of behavioral disturbances including crying, thrashing, and disorientation during early awakening from anaesthesia. The symptoms are common with a reported incidence of approximately 25%. Some clinical trials have studied the effect of prophylactic oral melatonin for reducing the risk of emergence agitation in children, some finding a considerable dose-response effect. Melatonin has a low bio-availability of approximately 15 %. The safety of exogenous melatonin for pediatric patients has been studied with no apparent serious adverse effects, even at repeated short-term use of high doses of intravenous melatonin. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the prophylactic effects and safety of intravenous melatonin administered intraoperatively for prevention of postopreative agitation and emergence delirium in children after an elective surgical procedure. The study is designed as a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

The increase in the population over 60 years of age who could receive surgery due to changes in life expectancy and advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques. Likewise, elderly people (EP) may have a higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality compared to young people, with frailty being one of the risk factors that increases adverse outcomes in this period and increases the probability of developing syndromes such as postoperative delirium (POD). Assessment of frailty in EP prior to surgery is not routine, so it is unknown how many frail and/or pre-frail EP undergo surgery in health care systems. There is an association between being frail and developing greater delirium and/or postoperative cognitive deficit, which in summary translates into an increase in perioperative morbidity and mortality. For the prevention of POD, there are pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures that seek to promote orientation with respect to their environment and make it as familiar as possible, stimulate early aspects of memory and thinking skills, as well as promote sleep using environmental hygiene measures. In Chile, protocols of non-pharmacological measures have been proposed by occupational therapy teams, which have had positive results in reducing POD in frail elderly patients. These measures are temporal-spatial reorientation, physical mobilization, correction of sensory deficits, environmental management, sleep protocol, and reduction of anticholinergic drugs with statistically significant results in the reduction of POD. In accordance with the above, the objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological measures applied by the nursing team in reducing the incidence of POD during the post-surgical period in fragile and pre-fragile EP undergoing elective non-cardiac surgeries. It is expected that in the end, frail and pre-frail EP who receive non-pharmacological interventions by the nursing team will present a lower incidence of POD at 24 hours compared to those who receive traditional care.

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a critical complication of major surgery and affects up to 70% of surgical patients over the age of 60 years. The additional healthcare costs associated with delirium exceed €50,000 per patient per year due to prolonged hospital stay, increased risk of long-term care or institutionalization, and the risk of developing dementia or cognitive impairment . Therefore, prevention of POD is a major goal in the perioperative setting. The investigator proposes this randomized study to evaluate the interest of a reduced anesthetic depth to prevent short-term cognitive disorders after cardiac surgery in elderly subjects. Method: Patients over 75 years old scheduled to undergo one of the cardiac surgeries of interest (valvular, coronary bypass, aortic or combined surgery) will be randomized to 2 paralell arms : Perioperative anesthesia with a BIS (Bispectral index) target of 35 Perioperative anesthesia with a BIS(Bispectral index) target of 55 The presence of mental confusion will be determined by CAM-ICU ( Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU ) at day 3 post procedure. Ancillary study: To assess cognitive status at inclusion, discharge and third post operative month using the MOCA(Montreal Cognitive Assessment ). Conclusion:The hypothesis of this study is that a lower depth of anesthesia will reduce post operative delirium in the first three days in patients older than 75 years who are planned for valvular, coronary artery bypass, aortic or combined cardiac surgery .

Postoperative delirium is a geriatric syndrome occurring after anesthesia and surgery which manifests as acute alterations in mental status, involving changes in cognition, attention, and levels of consciousness that tend to fluctuate The use of dexmedetomidine with the intention to prevent postoperative delirium remains controversial. Where it has shown to be effective in older adult patients undergoing cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular surgeries

To investigate the impact of cTBS on the incidence of postoperative delirium and changes of cognitive function in elderly patients after surgery. To explore whether short-term cTBS can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium as a preventive strategy.
