Participants receive one of the two medicines during their operation, and researchers monitor them for signs of delirium during recovery.
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.
