NCT02433041

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether postoperative delirium can be more properly prevented by the combination of determined preventive agents in past studies. Further on the investigators measure pre- and postoperative cortisol, neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S-100beta levels.
