Brief Summary

Deterioration of posoperative cognitive function (DCPO) is an intermediate state between normal cognitive aging and dementia, defined as a cognitive alteration greater than expected for the patient's age and educational level, but which doesn't interfere with the activities of daily life, in its evolution it can lead to dementia or it can present reversal of the deterioration with return to a normal cognitive state, or a stabilization with permanence in a state of moderate alteration. In general, higher cognitive function can be affected by organic or functional problems, anesthetic-surgical, diseases associated with the elderly and / or chronic-degenerative comorbidities. Older patients who undergo regional anesthesia have special interest, the adverse cardiovascular effects, or prolonged sedation due to a pharmacokinetics that is altered by age, call special attention to reduce complications in the postoperative period. In 2010 at the Siglo XXI Hospital in Mexico City, the 68-year-old population attended was 30% of those with postoperative cognitive dysfunction 26% a week, and 10% persistence at 3 months. The DSM V recommends a neuropsychiatric, psychological and cognitive evaluation of the patient in the postoperative period, through tests such as the Mini Mental State Examination. sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine have been recently proposed to reduce the postoperative markers of inflammation, pain and opioids, in addition to having an antidepressant effect. There is a pharmacological rationale for using ketamine as a preventative measure against postoperative delirium based on its N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonism, It has the potential to protect against such neurological injury.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • cognitive function at baseline

    the mini mental examination test will be done at baseline for the diagnostic

    It takes 30 minutes before the preparation of the surgery

  • Change the cognitive function #1

    The minimental examination test Will be done after one day of the anesthesic procedure.

    It Will be done at the hospital after one day of recovery

  • Change the cognitive function #2

    The minimental examination test Will be done after one month of the anesthesic procedure.

    It Will be done at the patient home

  • Change the cognitive function#3

    The minimental examination test Will be done after three months of the anesthesic procedure.

    It Will be done at the patient home three months after the surgery

Study Arms (2)

ketamine sedation

EXPERIMENTAL

Sedation will be performed with ketamine dose 5-20mcg / kg / min in infusion with 100 ml Na Cl solution 0.9% during surgery

Drug: ketamine sedation versus midazolam sedation

midazolam sedation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sedation will be performed with midazolam dose 5 - 35mcg / kg / hr in infusion with 100 ml Na Cl solution 0.9% during surgery

Drug: ketamine sedation versus midazolam sedation

Interventions

Sedation with ketamine 5-20 mcg / kg / hr in infusion in 100ml Na Cl solution 0.9% during surgery and the second midazolam group 5 mcg- 35 mcg / kg / hr in infusion in 100ml Na Cl solution 0.9% will be administered during surgery

Also known as: ketamine sedation

Model Details: Simple finite randomization will be performed. The anesthesiologist will choose an envelope with an assigned folio divided into two groups 1) intravenous infusion midazolam and 2) intravenous infusion ketamine, For sedation, regional anesthesia will be applied and hemodynamic variables, administered drugs, type of surgery, surgery time and transoperative bleeding will be recorded, after that, the cognitive evolution will be evaluated with the minimental examination at 3 months postoperatively
