About this study

Official title: Low Dose Ketamine Prevent the Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Aged Patients Underwent Orthopaedic Surgery,a Randomized Control Double Blinded Multicenter Clinical Trail

Previous study demonstrated that neuroinflammation induced by surgery is the main cause of the postoperative cognitive dysfunction. As an agonist of NMDA receptor, ketamine is proved to be an anti-inflammation agent. In present study investigators hypothesized that low dose ketamine would prevent the cognition decline after orthopedic surgery in aged patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Short-term cognitive changes after surgery

    Investigators would use mini-mental state examination(MMSE), Visual reproduction test,digit symbol,digit span,color trail test and Stroop color and word test for measuring the short-term cognitive changes of patients after surgery.

    Measured: The day before surgery and 7 days after surgery (or before leave hospital)

  2. Long-term cognitive changes after surgery

    Investigators would use mini-mental state examination(MMSE), Visual reproduction test,digit symbol,digit span,color trail test and Stroop color and word test for measuring the long-term cognitive changes of patients after surgery.

    Measured: The day before surgery and 2 months after surgery
