Emergence Delirium, Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction
Conditions
Keywords
Infusion pumps, Intraoperative brain monitoring
Brief summary
Aim of this trial is to define if Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction and Delirium, detected analyzing changes between pre-operative and post-operative Neurocognitive Test, relate to concentration of effector's site concentration of propofol and remifentanil TCI and to the common intraoperative neuromonitoring values.
Detailed description
Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction and Emergence Delirium has not been yet investigated after general anaesthesia with Targeted-Controlled-Infusion (TCI), daily used in the investigator's Hospital to anesthetize patients undergoing spinal surgery. Aim of this trial is to define if neurocognitive tests (Pfeiffer test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Trail Making Test A and B, Digit Span Test, Confusion Assessment Method) before and after surgery relate to concentrations at effector's site (Ec) of propofol and remifentanil TCI, the values of Bispectral Index, blood pressure values and usage of drugs to increase arterial blood pressure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction in spinal-surgery patients detected with Montreal Cognitive Assessment test | Patients will be subjected to Montreael Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test one day before surgery and 1 day after surgery. This test has a score ranging from 1 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). Better neurocognitve outcome with higher scores) | Discover incidence of Post-Operative Cognitive decline analyzing changes in Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction changes between Pre-operative Montreal Cognitive Assessment test score and post-operative Montreal Cognitive Assessment test score |
| Incidence of Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction in spinal-surgery patients detected with Trail Making Test A and B | Patients will be subjected to Trail Making Test (TMT) A and B one day before surgery and 1day after surgery. These tests will be evaluated in seconds required to be completed (better neurocognitive outcome with fewer seconds required) | Discover Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction analyzing changes between Pre-operative Trail Making Test A and B test score and post-operative Trail Making Test A and B test score |
| Incidence of Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction in spinal-surgery patients detected with Digit Span Test | Patients will be subjected to DST one day before surgery and 1 day after surgery. Better neurocognitve outcome with higher scores | Discover Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction analyzing changes between Pre-operative Digit Span Test score and post-operative Digit Span Test test score |
| Incidence of Emergence Delirium in spinal-surgery patients | Patients will be subjected to CAM 15 minutes after the awakening after general anesthesia | Discover Emergence Delirium analyzing Post-operative Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) delivered 15 minutes after the awakening of patients |
