  • Patients scheduled for arterial catheterization.
  • Patients who are able to take oral intake from postoperative day #1.

Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

incidence of postoperative delirium

Time Frame: from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7

Confusion assessment methods(CAM) will be used for diagnosing delirium At least two times a day during the hospitalization period. Patients diagnosed with delirium using the CAM were evaluated for the duration, symptoms, and type of delirium (e.g., reduced awareness of the environment; poor cognitive skills; behavioral changes; and emotional disturbances). \*\* Confusion assessment methods(CAM) diagnostic algorism (positive or negative result, positive means delirium) CAM is considered positive if features 1 and 2 are present, with at least one of features 3 or 4. Below are the four criteria of features : 1. Acute onset and fluctuating course Determined by collateral history or repeated clinic assessment 2. Inattention Counting from 20-1 is a simple (if blunt) test for this 3. Disorganized thinking 4. Altered levels of consciousness

Secondary Outcomes

  • type of delirium(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • GDS for depression(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • IADL for independence(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • duration of delirium(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • K-FRAIL for frailty(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • ADL for independence(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • QOR-40 for recovery(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • SNSB-c for cognitive dysfunction(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
  • K-MoCA for cognitive dysfunction(from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7)
