Reducing delirium after heart bypass with early activity and sleep routines
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a program that combines gentle early activity and sleep-friendly routines after heart bypass surgery. It aims to reduce the risk of delirium—sudden confusion that can happen after surgery.

This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This research examines how sleep issues before heart surgery may affect how well patients recover afterward. Researchers will study blood markers and chemical changes to better understand this connection and potentially improve surgical outcomes.
This study tests if giving a sleep aid (melatonin) before heart surgery can help prevent confusion and memory problems after the operation. It is for adults who have poor sleep and are having planned heart surgery.
This trial tests whether watching calming nature scenes on a screen after heart surgery can help reduce confusion or delirium. It may be especially helpful if you have certain risk factors like being under 65, having had a stroke, or having memory issues.
This trial tests if helping young children with sleep problems before heart surgery can reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It is for children ages 0 to 3 who have sleep issues and are scheduled for heart repair surgery.
This trial tests if a medication called dexmedetomidine can help prevent postoperative delirium (sudden confusion and disorientation) after heart surgery. It is for adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
