No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Postoperative delirium is a condition in which patients develop temporary difficulties in maintaining attention and thinking clearly. These new problems can appear after surgery and change throughout the day. This confusion can last several days.

The overall purpose of this study is to measure brain activity during sleep and wakefulness to learn about their relationships to delirium after surgery. While participants may not feel like their normal self during the study, they are in the best position to help us learn how to improve the recovery of brain function and sleep in others having surgery. The investigators need to learn from those who have and have not become confused after their surgical procedure.
