About this study

Official title: Non Invasive Monitoring of Cerebral Blood Flow During and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass to Assess and Compare for the Presence of Delirium in Post Operative Patients (DELIRIUM)

Cardiac surgery is associated with multiple events and issues that increase risk for adverse postoperative neurological outcomes including postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The risk for postoperative delirium is generally thought to result from some previous health factors added to the susceptibility of the cardiac surgery process.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac surgery is associated with multiple perturbations that increase risk for adverse postoperative neurological outcomes including postoperative cognitive dysfunction. These same perturbations likely also increase the risk for postoperative delirium although there are little data that have evaluated this hypothesis.

As the subject is prepared for surgery 2 contact probes will be placed on the forehead to monitor the rSO2 and cerebral blood flow. This monitor can also measureblood flow velocity in blood vessels in the forehead.

This will only be done while the subject is on the cardiac bypass machine during the surgery and end shortly after entering the intensive care unit.Prior to surgery and then once a day on three of the first four postoperative days, patients will be assessed for the presence and severity of delirium with brief standard psychological exams. We will compare rSO2 and CBF changes between patients with and without delirium

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02084394
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
no interventionContact with enrolled subjects requires application of ceberal oximetry electrodes and the concommittent ultrasound of the temporal artery. Deemed interventional by JHUIRB but no actual intervention done to subject.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate whether rSO2 and/or CBF during CPB is lower in patients who experience delirium within three days after cardiac surgery compared with patients without delirium

    To evaluate whether rSO2 and/or CBF during CPB is lower in patients who experience delirium within three days after cardiac surgery compared with patients without delirium.

    Measured: 3 days post op

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. recovery pattern of rSO2

    To evaluate the recovery pattern of rSO2 and CBF for up to 6 hrs after CPB for ICU patients who experience delirium within three days after cardiac surgery compared with patients without delirium.

    Measured: 3 post op days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Delirium, run by Johns Hopkins University at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2016. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate whether rSO2 and/or CBF during CPB is lower in patients who experience delirium within three days after cardiac surgery compared with patients without delirium (time frame: 3 days post op). 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 9 Feb 2016.
