About this study

Official title: Optimal Effective Dose of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Delirium and Cognitive Function of Elderly Patients Planned For TKA Surgery

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine in reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study will compare the outcomes of patients receiving dexmedetomidine to those receiving a standard anesthetic or sedative, focusing on factors such as patient characteristics, surgical duration, and postoperative care. The research will explore the potential neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine and its ability to mitigate the risks associated with anesthesia and surgery in vulnerable elderly populations.

Dexmedetomidine Injection [Precedex], Dexmedetomidine in 0.9 % NaCl 1,000 Mcg/250 mL (4 Mcg/mL) INTRAVEN INFUSION BOTTLE (ML), Normal saline

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?

Proportion of patients reporting at least a 50% reduction of Postoperative Delirium (measured by Confusion Assessment Method, Delirium Index) post-Total knee arthroplasty under sevoflurane inhalational anesthesia. (time frame: 3 months). 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?
