Brain scans may predict Post-Surgery confusion in heart patients
NCT ID NCT04832568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether monitoring brain waves (EEG) during heart surgery can help predict and understand postoperative delirium, a common complication causing confusion. Researchers will follow 200 adults undergoing cardiovascular surgery, using EEG to track brain activity and check for signs of delirium afterward. The goal is to find early warning signs to improve care and recovery.
