Predicting confusion after heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at heart surgery patients to find out who might get confused or have memory problems after surgery. By identifying risk factors, doctors hope to prevent this confusion and help patients recover more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have had heart surgery in the past (not necessarily recently).
- You should not have any condition that makes it hard to think, see, or hear.

This study uses a brain wave recording device (EEG) during heart surgery to see if it can predict short-term confusion or memory problems after the operation. It may help doctors find and treat thinking issues earlier.
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 tests if a special heart rate monitor can predict confusion (delirium) after surgery. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
This study uses special monitors to watch for confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. The goal is to detect it early and help you recover more smoothly.
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 uses a short, self-answered thinking test before elective heart surgery to help predict who may develop confusion afterward. The goal is to improve early identification and care planning for patients at higher risk.
