Eye-tracking to predict confusion after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses eye-tracking technology to see if it can predict post-operative delirium in older adults after surgery. You will have your eye movements measured before and after surgery to help identify early signs of delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for a moderate- or high-risk surgery that requires a hospital stay of at least 3 days.
- You do not have delirium at the time of admission.
- You have no history of dementia, stroke, brain injury, or a psychiatric disorder with psychosis.
- You have adequate vision (with or without glasses) and can read and understand Spanish.

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 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 tests if a special heart rate monitor can predict confusion (delirium) after surgery. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This study checks if a simple, painless eye ultrasound can help predict confusion (delirium) after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify patients at risk earlier and improve recovery.
