Summary

This study looks at brain wave (EEG) patterns in older adults during and after surgery to see if they can predict postoperative delirium—a state of confusion that can occur after anesthesia. Researchers will monitor 375 patients aged 60 and older undergoing joint replacement or spinal surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs that could help doctors prevent or manage delirium.
