Brief Summary

Acute post-operatory cognitive dysfunction states are one of the most important complications in older patients after surgery. Two acute cognitive dysfunctions have been described: postoperative delirium (PD) and postoperative subsyndromal delirium (PSSD). Patients who develop delirium, both as a complete or incomplete syndrome, have poor long-term outcomes, such as longer length of hospital stay, institutionalization at discharge, and even higher mortality, and consequently, the human and economic costs significantly increase for the health system. Here the research team will use an observational cohort, investigator blinded in two-center with a primary endpoint to validate the relative alpha power ratio as a predictive biomarker of postoperative cognitive dysfunctions.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients at risk of delirium or subsyndromal delirium after High-risk Surgery will be evaluated in the pre and postoperative period for cognitive dysfunction and the appearance of delirium syndromes. In the intraoperative period, an EEG-based monitorization will be performed using a SedLine (Masimo, CA) Monitor.

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 60 years old
  • Scheduled for high-risk elective surgery
  • Need for at least 3 days of hospital stay
  • Surgery performed under general anesthesia
  • Written informed consent for participation in the trial

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with preoperative delirium or dementia
  • Patients using neuroleptics drug during the past 6 months
  • Patients with a history of encephalopathy, psychosis, stroke or brain trauma with neurologic sequels
  • The use of ketamine or dexmedetomidine during surgery
  • Emergency surgery
  • Mechanical ventilation during the 72 after surgery
  • Analphabetism
  • Patients who do not talk Spanish
  • Patients included in another clinical trial
