Summary
This study tested whether giving lithium carbonate before carotid artery surgery could reduce brain damage and confusion after the operation. The trial planned to include 107 adults undergoing elective surgery, but it was terminated early. The goal was to see if lithium could prevent problems like delirium and memory issues that can occur when blood flow to the brain is temporarily stopped during surgery.
