Risk Factors of Recovery Room Delirium After Elective Non-cardiovascular Surgery

Despite recent advances in postoperative delirium research, the proportion of patients with postoperative delirium is still high ranging between 20-80%. Although postoperative delirium is a frequent complication and is associated with the need for more inpatient hospital care and longer length of hospital stay, little is known about risk factors for recovery room delirium (RRD) occurred in postanaesthesia care unit. The aim of the study was to determine pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of RRD among patients undergoing non cardiovascular surgery.

About this study

Recovery room delirium (RRD) defined as delirium occurred in PACU was diagnosed according to CAM-ICU criteria. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of patients undergoing elective non cardiovascular surgery were prospectively collected, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to find the risk factors related to postoperative delirium.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. The incidence of delirium in post anesthesia care unit (PACU) determined by confusion assessment method (CAM) -ICU criteria

    Time frame: at 1 hour after operation

Secondary outcomes

  1. heart rate in PACU

    Time frame: every 10 mins

    heart rate was recorded every 10 min during PACU stay, maximal and minimal heart rate were collected for analysis

  2. Pulse Oximeter Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) in PACU

  3. Hospital-length of stay

    Time frame: up to 6 months

  4. Total health care fees

    Time frame: up to 6 months
