Brain monitoring and frailty to predict confusion after surgery in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if monitoring your brain waves during surgery and checking your frailty level can help predict whether you might become confused after surgery. It aims to improve care for older adults having major non-cardiac operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 75 years old or older.
- You are having a major surgery that is not on your heart.
- You do not have confusion or delirium before your surgery.
- You agree to take part in the study.

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 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 looks at brain wave patterns during surgery in older adults to better understand and predict confusion after surgery. If you are 60 or older and having joint or spine surgery, you may be able to help.
This study looks at whether brain activity patterns during your surgery can predict confusion or delirium after the operation. It may help doctors better prevent postoperative confusion in older adults.
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 if a special heart monitor can predict confusion (delirium) after your surgery. It's for people having moderate to major leg or bone surgery, not on the spine.
