Effect of Preoperative Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block on Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults Undergoing Elective Peripheral Endovascular Intervention

26. september 2026 opdateret af: Loay Gamal, Assiut University

Effect of Preoperative Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block on Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults Undergoing Elective Peripheral Endovascular Interventions: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether preoperative ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block reduces the incidence of postoperative delirium in adults aged 60 years or older undergoing elective peripheral endovascular interventions. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a right-sided ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block at the C6 level with 5 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine or a control group. Postoperative delirium will be assessed twice daily during the first 3 postoperative days using the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method-defined Delirium (3D-CAM).

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Postoperative delirium is a frequent complication among older adults undergoing surgery and vascular interventions. This study will investigate whether preoperative ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block can reduce postoperative delirium through modulation of sympathetic activity and potentially inflammatory responses.

Eligible participants aged 60 years or older undergoing elective peripheral endovascular interventions will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to an active stellate ganglion block group or control group. The active intervention will consist of a right-sided ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block performed at the C6 level approximately 30 minutes before surgery, using a 22-gauge needle and 5 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine. The control group will receive standard perioperative care and regional anesthesia according to the study protocol, but no stellate ganglion block or sham procedure will be performed

All participants will receive standardized anesthesia consisting of ultrasound-guided combined femoral and sciatic nerve blocks with bupivacaine, supplemented by dexmedetomidine sedation.

The primary outcome will be cumulative incidence of postoperative delirium from postoperative day 1 through postoperative day 3, assessed twice daily using the 3D-CAM. Secondary outcomes will include delirium severity, delirium duration, postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and safety/adverse events.

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block

Participants will receive a right-sided ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block at the C6 level approximately 30 minutes before surgery. Under sterile conditions and real-time ultrasound guidance, a 22-gauge needle will be advanced to the prevertebral fascia. After negative aspiration, 5 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine will be injected. Successful sympathetic blockade will be assessed by development of Horner's syndrome and/or a relative increase in ipsilateral skin temperature of ≥1.5°C within 15 minutes after injection
Medicin: ropivacaine

5 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine administered during ultrasound-guided right stellate ganglion block at the C6 level approximately 30 minutes before surgery.
Ingen indgriben: control group

the participants will receive standard perioperative care and regional anesthesia according to the study protocol, but no stellate ganglion block or sham procedure will be performed
