Delirium
Conditions
Brief summary
The IPOD-B2 Study aims to understand the pathogenesis of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing major surgery. The investigators will identify then correlate soluble biomarkers in blood and cerebral spinal fluid with changes in High Density-Electroencephalogram.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Absolute changes in biomarkers in CSF and plasma in delirious and non-delirious patients between baseline and post-operative period | Pre-operative measure: Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative measure: Up to postoperative day (POD) 9 |
| Correlation between biomarkers in CSF and plasma in delirious and non-delirious patients | Post-operative measure: Up to postoperative day (POD) 9 |
| Absolute changes in activity and connectivity in HD-EEG from baseline to postoperative | Pre-operative measure: Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative measure: Up to postoperative day (POD) 9 |
| Correlation of biomarkers with the incidence of spinal cord ischemia | Pre-operative measure: Up to 4 weeks prior to surgery. Post-operative measure: Up to postoperative day (POD) 9 |
