NCT ID NCT05992506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether brain wave readings taken during surgery can help predict if older adults will experience confusion after the operation. Researchers will monitor 264 patients aged 60 and older who are having high-risk elective surgery. The goal is to find a reliable way to identify those at risk, so doctors can take steps to prevent or manage this serious complication.
