Predictors of Postoperative Delirium in Elder Patients After Spine Surgery: Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation

Completed
Conditions
Postoperative Delirium in Elder Patients After Spine Surgery
Registration Number
NCT02331953
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

Postoperative delirium is an important problem in patients undergoing major surgery. The incidence of delirium was 12.5% in the patients over 70 years old undergoing spine surgery. A study shows that a low preoperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) is associated with postoperative delirium after on-pump cardiac surgery. This same perturbation likely also increases the risk for postoperative delirium after spine surgery, although there are little data that have evaluated this hypothesis. Therefore, this observational study was designed to explore the relationship between perioperative rSO2 and the delirium in elderly patients undergoing spine surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the predictive power of periopertiver rSO2 regarding postoperative deliriumup to 2days postoperative

The presence and severity of delirium were assessed with Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) once a day. (1 day preopertive, 2 days postoperative.) The investigators plan to evaluate whether periopertive rSO2 can predict postoperative delirium in elder patients after spine surgery and to assess the predictive power of periopertiver rSO2 regarding postoperative delirium. Perioperative rSO2 was observed during surgery (an expected average of 2\~3 hours).
