Nutrition and monitoring to prevent confusion after gynecologic cancer surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving special nutrition before and possibly during surgery, along with careful brain monitoring during anesthesia, can reduce confusion (delirium) after surgery in older women with gynecologic cancer.
