Summary

This pilot study tests whether giving insulin as a nasal spray can prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in adults aged 65 and older after complex heart surgery. About 30 participants will receive either the insulin spray or a placebo before and after surgery. The goal is to see if the approach is practical, safe, and possibly effective at reducing delirium severity and duration.
