Brain oxygen and confusion after surgery in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery under general anesthesia.
- You do not have dementia or delirium before surgery.
- You do not require extra oxygen at home, and have no severe lung or kidney problems.
- You have not had a major neurological condition like a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or brain surgery in the past.

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 looks at how blood flow to the brain changes during heart surgery and whether it relates to confusion after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent confusion in older patients.
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.
This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
