Brief Summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication, and the incidence of POD after deep brain stimulation(DBS) implementation ranges from 10% to 40%. Previous studies suggested that aging and existing non-motor symptom were independent risk factors for POD after supratentorial tumor resections. Therefore, patients undergoing DBS are high-risk populations for POD. A lot of trials show that dexmedetomidine might help to reduce the incidence of delirium in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, the impact of dexmedetomidine on POD for patients undergoing DBS was seldom reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on POD in patients with Parkinson' Disease undergoing DBS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of postoperative delirium.

    Postoperative delirium is assessed by the combination of the Richmond Anxiety Scale (RASS) and the Confusion assessment method for intensive care unit (CAM-ICU) or the 3-minute diagnostic interview for CAM (3D-CAM) as applicable.

    Postoperative 5 days

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • The severity of postoperative delirium.

    Postoperative 5 days

  • Postoperative pain

    within 3 days after surgery.

  • Quality of recovery.

    First day after surgery

  • Quality of sleep

    the second and the third day after surgery

  • Cognitive function

    before surgery and 5 days after surgery

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

DEX group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Dexmedetomidine will be given at the beginning of the second step of DBS and last for 48 hours by electronic pump.

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

Placebo group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The placebo group patients will be received 0.9% saline intraoperatively and postoperatively the same duration just like the DEX group would do.

Drug: 0.9% saline

Interventions

The 4.8ug/kg dexmedetomidine will be diluted into 100ml and pump 2ml/h at the beginning of the second of DBS and last for 48 hours.

DEX group

The 0.9% saline is administered with the same volume at the same speed as the other group.

Placebo group
