About this study

Official title: Perioperative Risk Factors for Postoperative Delirium in Children Following General Anesthesia

Despite recent advances in postoperative delirium research, the proportion of children with postoperative delirium is still high. Although postoperative delirium is a frequent complication and is associated with the need for more inpatient hospital care and longer length of hospital stay, little is known about risk factors for recovery room delirium (RRD) occurred in postanaesthesia care unit. The aim of the study was to determine pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of RRD among children undergoing non cardiovascular surgery.

Read the detailed description

Recovery room delirium (RRD) defined as delirium occurred in PACU was diagnosed according to RASS-PAEDS criteria. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of patients undergoing elective non cardiovascular surgery were prospectively collected, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to find the risk factors related to postoperative delirium.

What is being measured

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

  1. The presence of delirium in post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and in ward determined by RASS-PAEDS criteria

    Measured: at 1, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 postoperative hour

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximal and minimal heart rate in PACU

    Measured: every 15 min during PACU stay

  2. Pulse Oximeter Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) in PACU

    Measured: every 15 min during PACU stay

  3. Hospital-length of stay

    Measured: before discharge

  4. Total health care fees

    Measured: during hospital stay

  5. Quality of recovery measured by PACBIS criteria

    Measured: at 1, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 postoperative hour
