Watching for confusion after heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses special monitors to watch for confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. The goal is to detect it early and help you recover more smoothly.

This study looks at confusion or disorientation (delirium) that can happen after heart surgery. It aims to learn more about who might be affected and how to improve recovery.
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 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 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 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 checks if a new questionnaire can predict delirium (confusion or disorientation after surgery) in adults having planned heart valve or bypass surgery. The goal is to help identify patients at higher risk so they can receive extra support during recovery.
