Managing body temperature during surgery to prevent confusion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether carefully managing your body temperature during surgery and heated chemotherapy can help prevent confusion (delirium) after the operation. It may help you recover more clearly after your treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your health status is generally good (American Society of Anesthesiologists class I to III).
- You are scheduled for cytoreductive surgery with heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare abdominal tumor).
- You do not have dementia, major psychiatric illness, recent stroke, seizures, or traumatic brain injury.
- You do not have severe hearing, vision, or language problems that would make cognitive testing hard.
- You do not have a history of alcohol or substance abuse.

After surgery for cancer in the belly area, some older adults become confused or have memory problems. This study looks for early signs in the blood that might predict this, so doctors can help prevent it.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), can help prevent confusion (delirium) after urological surgery in older adults. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and is done before or after surgery.
This study tests whether practicing breathing exercises before surgery helps prevent confusion (postoperative delirium) after robotic prostate removal. If you are having this surgery, the exercises aim to keep your mind clearer during recovery.
This study looks at ways to predict and prevent complications in older adults after major heart or blood vessel surgery. It may help reduce risks and improve recovery.
This study tests whether carefully controlling body temperature during and after cancer surgery can help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after the operation. If you are 65 or older and having a longer cancer surgery, this may be a good option to discuss with your doctor.
This study looks at whether certain treatments can prevent confusion or disorientation (called delirium) that some older patients experience after brain tumor surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life after the operation.
