简要总结
A randomized observational study will be conducted in the department of Anaesthesia, DMCH Ludhiana on a total of 100 elderly patients (age group >60 yrs) undergoing noncardiac surgeries under regional anaesthesia. They will be assessed with DOs scale and MMSE scale for delirium postoperatively at the time of shifting patient to the recovery room, 24hrs and 48hrs after the surgery.
The scores of MMSE and DOS at each time interval will be recorded as primary outcome of the study.

结局指标
主要结局
To calculate the incidence and prevalence of pre and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery under regional anaesthesia.
时间窗: a total of 100 elderly patients (age group 60 years undergoing noncardiac surgeries under regional anaesthesia will be assessed with MMSE and DOS scale for delirium preoperatively at the time of pre-anaesthesia checkup one day prior to surgery and then postoperatively after shifting the patient to the recovery room, 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The scores of the MMSE and DOS scale at the respective time intervals will be measured and recorded
次要结局
- To compare the efficacy of MMSE scale and DOS scale as a predictive tool for the detection of postoperative delirium in elderly.(To compare the change in the severity levels of delirium postoperatively from preoperative levels in patients with preoperative delirium.)
