Predicting confusion after surgery using a short personality quiz
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a short personality quiz can help predict which patients may wake up confused after surgery. If you are having non-emergency surgery with a breathing tube, this study might help improve care for future patients.
