Trial summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication, and the incidence of POD after deep brain stimulation(DBS) implementation ranges from 10% to 40%. Previous studies suggested that aging and existing non-motor symptom were independent risk factors for POD after supratentorial tumor resections. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients With Parkinson's Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication, and the incidence of POD after deep brain stimulation(DBS) implementation ranges from 10% to 40%. Previous studies suggested that aging and existing non-motor symptom were independent risk factors for POD after supratentorial tumor resections. Therefore, patients undergoing DBS are high-risk populations for POD. A lot of trials show that dexmedetomidine might help to reduce the incidence of delirium in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, the impact of dexmedetomidine on POD for patients undergoing DBS was seldom reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on POD in patients with Parkinson' Disease undergoing DBS.

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    The 4.8ug/kg dexmedetomidine will be diluted into 100ml and pump 2ml/h at the beginning of the second of DBS and last for 48 hours.

  • 0.9% salineDrug

    The 0.9% saline is administered with the same volume at the same speed as the other group.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of postoperative delirium.

    Postoperative delirium is assessed by the combination of the Richmond Anxiety Scale (RASS) and the Confusion assessment method for intensive care unit (CAM-ICU) or the 3-minute diagnostic interview for CAM (3D-CAM) as applicable.

    Measured: Postoperative 5 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. The severity of postoperative delirium.

    The severity of postoperative delirium will be assessed by Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98.

    Measured: Postoperative 5 days

  2. Postoperative pain

    Postoperative pain will be assessed with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Postoperative analgesia will be recorded.

    Measured: within 3 days after surgery.

  3. Quality of recovery.

    Quality of recovery will be evaluated with 15-item quality of recovery questionnaire (QoR-15).

    Measured: First day after surgery

  4. Quality of sleep

    Quality of sleep will be evaluated with the Richards Campbell sleep questionnaire (RCSQ).

    Measured: the second and the third day after surgery

  5. Cognitive function

    Cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal cognitive assessment-basic (MoCA-B).

    Measured: before surgery and 5 days after surgery

  6. Anxiety and depression

    Anxiety and depression will be evaluated using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionaire-9 items (PHQ -9).

    Measured: before surgery and 5 days after surgery

  7. Parkinson's disease related status

    Parkinson's disease related status will be evaluated by Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS).

    Measured: before surgery and 5 days after surgery
