Preventing confusion after surgery in frail older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special nursing care plan can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults who are frail. If you are 65 or older, having planned surgery, and generally healthy enough, this trial may be an option.

This study tests a hospital program designed to prevent delirium (sudden confusion) after surgery in patients aged 65 and older. If you are having surgery in the hospital, this program might help you recover more clearly.
This study looks at older patients (65 and older) who have had surgery and anesthesia. It aims to find who is at risk for confusion (delirium) and memory problems afterward. The goal is to help doctors prevent these issues.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
This study compares different anesthesia methods for older adults who are frail, to find which approach is safer and leads to better outcomes. If you are 65 or older and considered frail, this trial may help improve care for people like you.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
