Brief Summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in elderly patients and is associated with negative clinical outcomes, such as prolonged hospitalizations, cognitive impairment, and higher mortality rate. While the pathophysiology of delirium remains unknown, the cerebral hypoperfusion and neuroinflammatory response are considered to play an important role in the process of POD. The aim of the study is to determine the association between POD and biomarkers in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac and non-neurological surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of postoperative delirium within postoperative 5 days

    The postoperative delirium will be diagnosed if patients have fluctuation in mental status and attention and either thinking or consciousness in the past 24 hours as evidenced by fluctuation on Confusion Assessment Method-Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) scale.

    the incidence of delirum within postoperative 5 days.

Study Arms (2)

Postoperative delirium

Other: The regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2)Other: The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)Other: The brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF)

Non postoperative delirium

Other: The regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2)Other: The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)Other: The brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF)

Interventions

Measurement of rSO2 with non-invasive near-infrared light spectrum monitor. The average, left and right frontal regions absolute rSO2 values will be collected every 30 seconds during the whole surgery until postoperative 2 hours, and the mean values will be calculated. Absolute rSO2 value and AUT (area under the threshold) send beneath the absolute threshold limits of 40%, 50% and 20%, 30% under the baseline. AUT will be calculated based on this formula: AUT (present)=AUT (past)+(rSO2 threshold-rSO2 value)×sample rate

Non postoperative deliriumPostoperative delirium

Venous blood sample will be collected and tested for plasma GFAP. The blood will be collected 10 minutes before anesthesia, 30 minutes after intubation, every hour during operation, 15 minutes after extubation, and at 10:00 AM in postoperative 1,3,5 days.

Non postoperative deliriumPostoperative delirium

Venous blood sample will be collected and tested for plasma BDNF. The blood will be collected 10 minutes before anesthesia, 30 minutes after intubation, every hour during operation, 15 minutes after extubation, and at 10:00 AM in postoperative 1,3,5 days.
