Scientists scan brains to unlock mystery of Post-Surgery confusion
NCT ID NCT04244162
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some people experience confusion and thinking problems after surgery, especially those with sleep apnea. Researchers enrolled 32 patients with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea who were scheduled for surgery. They used brain scans, blood tests, and memory assessments before and after surgery to look for links between inflammation, brain changes, and cognitive decline.
