Anesthesia choice and delirium after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
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.
This study looks at whether a protein called GDNF in the blood can help predict if a child will become confused or have other brain problems after surgery. It aims to improve how we care for children during and after their operation.
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.
This study tests ways to prevent confusion (delirium) after surgery in older adults. It aims to help you stay clear-headed and recover better after your operation.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
