Predicting delirium after heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of developing confusion or delirium after heart surgery. If you have had heart surgery before, researchers want to see if they can predict who might become confused afterward, which could help prevent it in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new way to predict if a person will become confused or disoriented (delirium) after heart surgery. It looks at people having planned heart valve or bypass surgery while using a heart-lung machine, and who will stay in the ICU for more than two days.
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 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 monitor can predict confusion (delirium) after your surgery. It's for people having moderate to major leg or bone surgery, not on the spine.
This study looks at a common brain confusion called delirium after people have open-heart surgery. It may help doctors better predict, prevent, or manage delirium after surgery.
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.
