Forehead sensor may spot delirium risk in elderly surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07463586
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is looking at whether the brain's ability to use oxygen during surgery is linked to postoperative delirium in adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will use a non-invasive forehead sensor to measure brain oxygen levels during routine laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Participants will be checked for delirium for up to three days after surgery. The goal is to see if a reduced oxygen response in the brain can help identify those at higher risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help identify older patients at higher risk for postoperative delirium, allowing for closer monitoring or preventive measures.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It can only show an association, not cause and effect. Results may not apply to all surgery types or patient groups.
