Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): Post-operative Delirium, diagnosed with the CAM, at least once within four days post surgery.;Secondary Objective: 1. To compare the incidence of POD between xenon group and sevoflurane group. 2. To evaluate the incidence of POD from Day 5 post-surgery until discharge from hospital 3. To determine the time to first POD diagnosis 4. To evaluate the duration of POD 5. To evaluate the evolution of the physiological status of the patients in the post-operative period 6. To evaluate the recovery parameters 7. To collect preliminary data to evaluate the economical impact of POD in the post-operative period 8. To collect safety data ;Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the incidence of Post-Operative Delirium (POD), diagnosed with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under general anaesthesia, with xenon or sevoflurane, for a period of four days post-surgery.
