Can brain waves during surgery predict delirium after?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having general anesthesia with a breathing tube placed through your mouth

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
This trial tests whether monitoring how deeply you sleep during anesthesia helps prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery. It is for older adults who can give consent and are having a major operation.
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.
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 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.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
