Postoperative Delirium in the ICU Setting of an Eastern European Centre

Postoperative Delirium: a Complex Prediction Model in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery

The study targets postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, with the aim to evaluate the functional baseline and proteomics implicated in pathogenesis, prevention strategies (such as anesthesia depth monitoring) and incidence in certain population groups.

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients aged 18 to 70 years, given informed consent, who will be subjected to major abdominal surgery and admitted in the ICU postoperatively, will be assessed from the preoperative period until hospital discharge, to collect the requisite information.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ASA risk I-III;
  • patients undergoing complex digestive surgery, such as esophagectomy, total gastrectomy, hemicolectomy, cephalic duodenopancreatectomy, hepatic resection.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • the impossibility of obtaining the patient's consent/his decisional incapacity;
  • patients who underwent neurosurgery for cerebrospinal lesions / cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass;
  • prediagnosed senile/vascular/mixed dementia.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
BIS monitoring
Patients in this group will be subjected to Bispectral index-guided general anesthesia.
The depth of anesthesia will be monitored using Bispectral Index values.
PRST score monitoring
Patients in this group will be subjected PRST score-guided general anesthesia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prediction model for postoperative delirium (POD) in major abdominal surgery
Time Frame: 3-4 years

Developing an accesible algorithm to anticipate the occurence of postoperative delirium, based on functional baseline and proteomics, in adult patients subjected to major abdominal surgical interventions.

This includes investigating a correlation between a set of risk factors, a panel of biomarkers and the occurrence of postoperative delirium in the enrolled patients, respectively.

3-4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Anesthesia depth monitoring and the incidence of postoperative delirium
Time Frame: 0-4 days postoperatively
Assessing the influence of BIS monitoring during general anesthesia on the prevalence of postoperative delirium
0-4 days postoperatively
Postoperative delirium incidence in surgical patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting
Time Frame: during ICU hospitalization
during ICU hospitalization
Postoperative delirium incidence in surgical patients - subgroup - communism survivors
Time Frame: during ICU hospitalization
during ICU hospitalization
Postoperative delirium incidence in surgical patients - subgroup - patients with no relatives/visitors
Time Frame: during ICU hospitalization
during ICU hospitalization

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The influence of POD on length of stay (LOS), unplanned ICU re-admission, cognitive decline and mortality
Time Frame: during patient hospitalization
Evaluating the possibility of a correlation between the occurence of POD and prolonged hospitalization, a prerequisite for ICU re-admittance or further cognitive deterioration / mortality.
during patient hospitalization
