Trial summary

Lumbar vertebra surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures.Delirium is common in geriatric patients after lumbar spinae surgery.postoperative delirium usually occurs in the early postoperative period and delays patient mobilization and thus lengthens hospital stay.

About this study

Lumbar vertebra surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures.Delirium is common in geriatric patients after lumbar spinae surgery.postoperative delirium usually occurs in the early postoperative period and delays patient mobilization and thus lengthens hospital stay.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of this field block on postoperative delirium in patients undergoing ESP with lomber vertebra surgery and with ultrasound guidance for postoperative analgesia.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative delirium (PD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) are extremely common in geriatric surgical patients. After elective major joint replacement or other types of major surgery, about 5% to 15% of elders develop delirium and 25% to 40% and 12% to 15% developearly or late POCD. PDand POCD are associated with prolonged length of stay, discharge to a place other than home and higher 1 year mortality. In addition, delirium is associated with an accelerated trajectory of cognitive decline to dementia (1). The etiologies of both PD and POCD remain unknown. Controversy exists over whether delirium is a marker or risk factor for subsequent persistent cognitive impairment . The PD is an acute impairment of cognitive and or spatial/temporal perception,that can be diagnosed at the bedside with dedicated diagnostic tools. It has an acute onset and a fluctuating course, and therefore can be missed if not systematically tested. It is defined by three principal characteristics: altered consciousness; changes in cognitive abilities; recent and rapid onset . The POCD affects global cognitive functions for several months/years after surgery and anesthesia, diagnosis requires detailed neuropsychological testing.

Surgical interventions have been associated with severe pain and discomfort in the immediate perioperative period. Surgical anesthesia and the perioperative analgesic regimen aim toward complete intra-operative amnesia, profound analgesia, effective control of autonomic responses and rapid emergence. However, anesthesia, analgesia and sedation all utilize medications that might be implicated in the development of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Elderly patients are more sensitive to the CNS effects of barbiturates, inhalationalanesthetics, benzodiazepines and opioids. Some medications frequently associated with delirium with or without POCD include opioids, anxiolytics, antidepressants, and corticosteroids.

There are studies regarding the effect of erektor spina field block on postoperative pain in vertebra surgery.The investigators will compare the effect on postoperative delirium of patients who underwent erector spina plane block after spinal surgery with those who did not.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the effect of postoperative delirium (determined by CAM ICU test) in patients who underwent erector spina block after spinal surgery and those who did not.

    CAM ICU IS THE TEST USED TO MEASURE DELIRIUM

    Measured: Change from baseline postoperative delirium at five days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. postoperative chronic pain assessment.we will use brief pain scoring

    brief pain scoring is the test used to measure chronic pain

    Measured: 3 month later (one time)

  2. postoperative cognitive dysfunction assessment.we will use montreal cognitive assesment test

    montreal cognitive assesment is the test used to measure postoperative cognitive dysfunction

    Measured: 3 month later (one time)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CAM ICU test, MOCA test and brief pain test in people with Postoperative Delirium, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact BULUT POLAT (+905058228095, bulut.plt@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the effect of postoperative delirium (determined by CAM ICU test) in patients who underwent erector spina block after spinal surgery and those who did not. (time frame: Change from baseline postoperative delirium at five days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2022.
