Study delirium after open-heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at a common brain confusion called delirium after people have open-heart surgery. It may help doctors better predict, prevent, or manage delirium after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (not a child).
- You are scheduled to have open-heart surgery.
- You are willing to take part in the study (not refusing).

This study is looking for certain substances in the blood that may show up if a person becomes confused or delirious after heart surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can help prevent or treat this confusion.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This study looks at confusion or disorientation (delirium) that can happen after heart surgery. It aims to learn more about who might be affected and how to improve recovery.
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of developing confusion or delirium after heart surgery. If you have had heart surgery before, researchers want to see if they can predict who might become confused afterward, which could help prevent it in the future.
This study tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
This study is looking at how well the brain regulates its blood flow during heart surgery and whether that affects the chance of becoming confused (delirium) after surgery. Researchers want to find ways to prevent delirium in older adults having heart surgery.
