First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study tested whether giving a low dose of s-ketamine during chest surgery can prevent postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) in patients aged 60 and older. Over 500 participants having non-cardiac chest surgery were randomly assigned to receive either s-ketamine or another sedative during the operation. The main goal was to see if s-ketamine could reduce the number of patients experiencing confusion in the first four days after surgery.
