Postoperative Delirium: Brain Vulnerability and Recovery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Delirium, Postoperative Complications

In brief

In this study, we propose to use EEG and a brain imaging technique known as diffuse optical tomography (DOT) to study when people are in delirium and when they recovery. We plan to also compare brain function of patients who recovered from delirium to patients who did not have delirium using DOT and fMRI. We will also continually monitor the participant's EMR to help coordinate timing of study procedures, as well as to collect information pertaining to their surgery, recovery progress, and indicators of mental status including delirium.
