Summary
This study looks at whether brain wave (EEG) readings during surgery can predict postoperative delirium—a state of confusion that often affects older adults after major operations. Researchers will monitor 264 patients aged 60 and older undergoing high-risk elective surgery. The goal is to validate EEG as a reliable early warning tool, which could help doctors prevent or manage delirium and its serious complications.
