Delirium affects 50-70% of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) with respiratory failure or shock.1-8 ICU delirium predicts death,2,8 length of stay,3 cost,9 and acquisition of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD).10-14 Alzheimer's disease and related dementias" or "ADRD" refers to a
Randomized double blind clinical trial. Male and female patients 60-90 years of age scheduled in elective surgery under regional anesthesia and sedation.
The researchers will be double blind and the data analyzer will ignore the drug used ( it it should be midazolam or ketamine in an intravenous
Study design: prospective, monocentric, epidemiological study: non-interventional. The drafting of the protocol follows the order proposed by the STROBE check-list for the publication of the observational studies where applicable.

As one of the more common hospital-based major interventional procedures, 180,476 CABG surgeries were performed in the United States in 2016, according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD). Of these, 23,545 operations also involved aortic or mitral valve
Pain is a critical national health problem with nearly 50% of critical care patients experience significant pain in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The under-assessment of pain response is one of the primary barriers to the adequate treatment of pain in critically ill patients, associated with many
Study setting: a single tertiary hospital, containing 1,000 beds. Intervention: best medical care and oral oseltamivir 75 mg twice daily for five days.
Control: best medical care and oral paracetamol twice daily for five days. Dose adjustments of oseltamivir will be made according to manufacturer's
Patients surviving critical illness experience significant skeletal muscle dysfunction and weakness. Muscle atrophy suffered during critical illness has a long-term impact on the functionality and mobility of these individuals.1-6 The underlying etiology is multifactorial, but largely thought to be
To determine whether non-pharmacological measures decrease the incidence of POD during the perioperative period in elderly patients undergoing highly complex elective surgeries, it will be performed a randomized clinical trial, where two groups of patients older than 75 years undergoing highly
Advancements in the last 2 decades in the field of critical care medicine has led to an improvement in mortality of critically ill patients. This has led to interest in the long-term functional disabilities that the survivors suffer. The risks of developing cognitive dysfunction after critical
The purpose of this pilot trial is to estimate the effect of electrical stimulation (e-stim) to the bilateral quadriceps on duration of intubation, ICU and hospital length of stay, and functional recovery in the NSICU in comparison to historical matched controls. The objectives of this initial pilot
Multiple recent studies have demonstrated considerable between-hospital variability in ICU utilization for stable patients with NSTEMI and a lack of association between higher hospital-level ICU utilization and short-term mortality. Moreover, severity of illness, as measured by a traditional
Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (PCD) is a frequent and serious complication associated with the surgical / anesthetic act. It is an under-recognized and underestimated entity, as it can often go unnoticed even though its effects can be devastating. The cognitive domains affected are diverse and
The German health care system is sectorized with health service providers offering a) outpatient treatment and care, b) inpatient treatment and care or c) rehabilitation. While treatment and care within these sectors can be considered to be of high quality, there is a lack of widely available
Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive disorder (POCD) are the most common complications of geriatric surgical patients, which could cause long-term social dysfunction, high mortality and increased medical cost. Currently, there is no efficient biomarker for POD/POCD, and it also
As the population ages and medical progress is made, many elderly patients that previously would not have been candidates for surgery are now undergoing operations. In this group of older patients, brain dysfunction after anesthesia and surgery is well recognized and categorized into two distinct
