This study is testing if a 30-minute relaxation session using virtual reality and calming sounds before heart surgery can reduce stress and prevent post-operative confusion and memory decline. It will involve 125 patients undergoing elective heart surgery in Germany. Researchers …

This study aims to see if one sedative (dexmedetomidine) works better than another (midazolam) at preventing confusion and delirium after heart bypass surgery. It will involve 60 adults having planned bypass surgery. Researchers will monitor patients closely after surgery to see …

This study aims to understand how to maintain the best blood pressure during surgery to protect brain health in patients aged 60 and older. Researchers will use stickers on the forehead to monitor brain electrical activity and oxygen levels before, during, and after major non-car…

This study aims to understand why some patients experience brain complications like confusion, memory problems, or stroke after heart surgery. Researchers will monitor 500 patients using special brain scans to see if keeping their blood pressure within a personalized safe range d…
