Abstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Objective The effects of stroke and delirium on postdischarge cognition and patient-centered health outcomes after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are not well characterized. Here, we assess the impact..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Postoperative delirium (POD) is common, costly and associated with long-term morbidity and increased mortality. We conducted a cohort study to assess the contribution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Impaired cognition is a major predisposing factor for postoperative delirium but it is not systematically assessed. Anesthesia and surgery may cause postoperative delirium by affecting brain integrity. Neurofilament..
Read MoreAbstract Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a complication after surgery which leads to worse outcomes. The frequency of this syndrome is increasing as more elderly patients undergo major surgery. The..
Read MoreAbstract In elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, extracorporeal circulation affects the incidence of post-operative delirium and cognitive impairment with an impact on quality of life and mortality. In this study,..
Read MoreAbstract Postoperative delirium (POD) after cardiac surgery is a well-known phenomenon which carries a higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Multiple patient-specific risk factors and pathophysiologic mechanisms have been identified..
Read MoreAbstract Background Neurofilament light is a blood-based biomarker of neuroaxonal injury that can provide insight into perioperative brain vulnerability and injury. Prior studies have suggested that increased baseline and postoperative..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Postoperative delirium (POD) is strongly associated with poor early and long-term prognosis in cardiac surgery patients with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study aimed to develop dynamic prediction models for..
Read MoreAbstract Background After pediatric cardiosurgical interventions, postoperative delirium can occur, which can be associated with undesirable consequences during and after the hospital stay. It is therefore important to avoid any..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate whether a measure of subjective cognitive decline (SCD), the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Applied Cognition-Abilities questionnaire, was associated with postoperative delirium...
Read MoreAbstract Background Postoperative delirium in intensive care is common and associated with mortality, cognitive impairment, prolonged hospital stays and high costs. We evaluate whether a nurse-led orientation program could reduce..
Read MoreAbstract The association of frailty with postoperative delirium has not been fully investigated in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether preoperative hand grip strength is..
Read MoreAbstract Background The aim of this study was to construct a nomogram model for discriminating the risk of delirium in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Methods From January 2017 to June..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review Delirium is a marker of acute brain insufficiency and a harbinger of poor outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Despite success preventing delirium by nonpharmacologic measures, the..
Read MoreAbstract Background Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of oxygen delivery-guided perfusion (ODGP) in preventing postoperative acute kidney injury, but the benefit of ODGP for delirium has not been confirmed. We..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The pathophysiology of delirium after cardiac surgery is complex. The present study aims to determine perioperative risk factors and construct a scoring system for postoperative delirium based..
Read MoreAbstract A growing body of evidence demonstrates that excursions of BP below or above the limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation are associated with complications in patients with neurological injury..
Read MoreAbstract Background Delirium is acute brain dysfunction associated with serious illness. Emerging data indicate that delirium occurs in greater than 20% of children in pediatric intensive care units. Cardiac bypass..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES: Patients in the pediatric cardiac ICU are frequently exposed to pharmacologic and environmental factors that predispose them to sleep disturbances and may increase the risk of delirium. In..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The objective of this study was to identify novel serum biomarkers specific to postoperative delirium after major cardiac surgery to provide insight into the pathologic processes involved in..
Read MoreAbstract Delirium is an important public health problem. It is independently associated with worse clinical outcomes, including persistent cognitive impairment, increased mortality, and greater risk of institutionalization [1]. The prevalence..
Read MoreAbstract Study objective Low (BIS) values have been associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. However, trials of optimizing BIS by titrating anesthetic administration have reported conflicting results. One potential explanation is that may..
Read MoreHighlights •Gravitational ischemia in the brain results from the mass effect of one part of the brain upon another in a gravitational field; •The finding that hypoactive delirium was..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Intranasal insulin administration may improve cognitive function in patients with dementia and may prevent cognitive problems after surgery. Although the metabolic effects of intranasal insulin in non-surgical patients have been studied, its influence on glucose..
Read MoreAbstract Background Neuropsychiatric complications of surgical are inconspicuous but frequent and clinically relevant. So far, attempts to reduce their occurrence, such as the introduction of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces a significant inflammatory response that may increase the risk for delirium. We hypothesized that exposure to CPB during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery..
Read MoreAbstract Background Inflammation after cardiopulmonary bypass may contribute to postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction. The authors evaluated the effect of high-dose methylprednisolone to suppress inflammation on the incidence of delirium..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Remote (RIPC) exerts effects in models of cerebral . The authors tested the hypothesis that RIPC decreases the incidence of and prevents deterioration of short-term postoperative cognitive function in isoflurane-fentanyl-anesthetized patients undergoing..
