Monitoring to prevent confusion after heart surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses brain monitoring during heart surgery to try to prevent post-surgery confusion or memory problems. It may help if you are having valve repair or bypass surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for valve surgery or coronary artery bypass surgery.
- You have a score of 20 or more on a memory test (MoCA) before surgery.
- Your physical status is classified as ASA II, III, or IV.
- You do not have a history of stroke with lasting effects.
- You do not have dementia or a strong suspicion of it.

This study looks at whether keeping blood pressure and brain oxygen levels steady during heart surgery can help doctors spot problems with blood flow to organs after the operation. It may help improve recovery and prevent complications.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This study uses brain monitoring and artificial intelligence to predict whether patients might experience confusion (delirium) after heart valve surgery. This could help doctors provide better care and prevent this common complication.
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 a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
