Abstract Background: Static or averaged electroencephalography (EEG) metrics may fail to capture dynamic cerebral changes during surgery. We assessed the EEG features during aortic arch surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To evaluate whether prolonged exposure below a Patient State Index (PSI) threshold of 25—considered indicative of excessive anesthesia depth via processed electroencephalography—is associated with postoperative delirium (POD) in..
Read MoreAbstract Delirium remains a common yet important complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)., Despite robust research linking delirium to adverse outcomes in this setting, it is still regarded as a..
Read MoreAbstract Background The increasing preference for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) reflects efforts to reduce complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A lower incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) after..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Delirium is a common, distressing, and dangerous complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with few modifiable risk factors. This study aims to determine the association between..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative delirium is a common and serious complication in surgical patients, often leading to prolonged hospitalisation and increased morbidity. Intranasal insulin has shown promising results in preventing postoperative..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Oxidative stress after cardiac surgery may disrupt the blood–brain barrier and contribute to postoperative delirium (POD). Although associations between oxidative stress and POD are recognized, whether vitamin C (VC)..
Read MoreAbstract Background Delirium is an aetiologically nonspecific cerebral syndrome characterised by disturbances in consciousness, attention, perception, cognition, memory, psychomotor activity, emotion, and the sleep–wake cycle. It frequently occurs after cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Delirium after cardiac surgery is associated with poor outcomes. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and neuroinflammation, contributing to delirium. While microglial activation after CPB has..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is known to involve systemic inflammatory responses, but the characteristics of the immune cell types involved in these responses are unclear. Methods: In this prospective study, we..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose To assess the effects of conventional ultrafiltration and conventional plus zero-balanced ultrafiltration on delirium and cognition in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods A total..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and serious complication after cardiac surgery. The glucose-to-albumin ratio (GAR) integrates metabolic and nutritional status, but its predictive value for POD in..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery disrupts cerebral hemodynamics, potentially leading to postoperative neurological complications such as delirium. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) offers non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood flow..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Postoperative delirium affects up to 60% of cardiac surgical patients. No reliable gold standard method exists for preventing delirium after cardiac surgery. An example of patient-personal monitoring is..
Read MoreAbstract Background Delirium is a common postoperative complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with prolonged hospitalization and persistent cognitive impairment. This study aimed to assess the predictive..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a neurocognitive syndrome affecting patients undergoing surgery. It is a frequent complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and is associated with higher morbidity,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: This study aimed to measure the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) after aortic arch surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), compare it to cardiac surgeries not requiring HCA, and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Delirium is a common neurological complication after cardiac surgery. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the association between hemodynamic fluctuations during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and..
Read MoreAbstract Background Postoperative delirium (POD) remains a significant complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery, particularly in middle-aged patients who constitute the majority of this surgical population. While intranasal insulin (INI)..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Sparse data exist on delirium in VA-ECMO. We aim to describe the characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of delirium in VA-ECMO. Methods We retrospectively reviewed adults’s electronic medical..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Ascorbic acid is a strong antioxidant that prevents postoperative delirium by inhibiting reactive oxygen species production. This pilot study was designed to investigate the prevalence of postoperative delirium among..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To establish a nomogram for predicting the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Materials and methods Data from 5379 patients were retrieved from the..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Postoperative Delirium (POD) has an incidence of up to 65% in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We aimed to develop two dynamic nomograms to predict the risk of..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a severe complication following cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The impact of intra- and early postoperative factors on the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a cognitive decline and attention deficit that can occur in patients after cardiac surgery. Despite extensive research identifying the risk factors, POD often remains..
Read MoreAbstract Study objective To evaluate the associations between high and low intraoperative time-weighted average mean arterial pressures before, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass on postoperative delirium. Design Single center retrospective..
Read MoreAbstract Background Although serum bicarbonate is a reliable predictor of various disease complications, its relationship with postoperative delirium (POD) remains unclear. Our research aimed to assess the effect of baseline..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Postoperative delirium (POD), especially after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is a relatively common and severe complication increasing side effects, length of hospital stay, mortality and healthcare resource..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To compare the incidence of delirium and early (at 1 week) (POCD) between propofol-based (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia with in adult patients undergoing elective (CABG) with (CPB). Design This was a prospective randomized..
Read MoreAbstract IMPORTANCE Postoperative delirium is a common and impactful neuropsychiatric complication in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Cognitive training may enhance cognitive reserve, thereby reducing postoperative delirium. OBJECTIVE To determine..
