Can the use of solutions containing high concentrations of solutes given directly into the blood circulation increase the risk for delirium after cardiac surgery?

Phase 1
Conditions
The present investigation aims to investigate the risk of developing delirium after cardiac surgery, when using a hyperosmolar priming solution for cardiopulmonary bypass

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: Are hypertonic solutions a risk factor for delirium after cardiac surgery?<br><br>;Secondary Objective: To verify changes in osmolality related to the use of hypertonic solutions and to establish its possible role for postoperative delirium. <br>;Primary end point(s): To investigate the effect of using hyperosmolar prime in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass related to the risk of developing postoperative delirium verified by test results obtained from test batteries sensitive for detecting delirium executed both before and after surgery;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The patient is tested for delirium at admittance to the hospital and repeatedly until the 3rd (+/- 1) postoperative day
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): To investigate the effects of using hyperosmolar prime in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass related to disturbances of normal osmolality verified by serial perioperative measurement of plasma osmolality;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Plasma osmolality measured pre cardiopulmonary bypass and repeated four times thereafter until the 3rd postoperative day
