Conditions

Deep Brain Stimulation, Dexmedetomidine, Postoperative Delirium

Brief summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication, and the incidence of POD after deep brain stimulation(DBS) implementation ranges from 10% to 40%. Previous studies suggested that aging and existing non-motor symptom were independent risk factors for POD after supratentorial tumor resections. Therefore, patients undergoing DBS are high-risk populations for POD. A lot of trials show that dexmedetomidine might help to reduce the incidence of delirium in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, the impact of dexmedetomidine on POD for patients undergoing DBS was seldom reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on POD in patients with Parkinson' Disease undergoing DBS.

Interventions

DRUGDexmedetomidine

The 4.8ug/kg dexmedetomidine will be diluted into 100ml and pump 2ml/h at the beginning of the second of DBS and last for 48 hours.

DRUG0.9% saline

The 0.9% saline is administered with the same volume at the same speed as the other group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of postoperative delirium.Postoperative 5 daysPostoperative delirium is assessed by the combination of the Richmond Anxiety Scale (RASS) and the Confusion assessment method for intensive care unit (CAM-ICU) or the 3-minute diagnostic interview for CAM (3D-CAM) as applicable.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative painwithin 3 days after surgery.Postoperative pain will be assessed with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Postoperative analgesia will be recorded.
Quality of recovery.First day after surgeryQuality of recovery will be evaluated with 15-item quality of recovery questionnaire (QoR-15).
Quality of sleepthe second and the third day after surgeryQuality of sleep will be evaluated with the Richards Campbell sleep questionnaire (RCSQ).
The severity of postoperative delirium.Postoperative 5 daysThe severity of postoperative delirium will be assessed by Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98.
Anxiety and depressionbefore surgery and 5 days after surgeryAnxiety and depression will be evaluated using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionaire-9 items (PHQ -9).
Parkinson's disease related statusbefore surgery and 5 days after surgeryParkinson's disease related status will be evaluated by Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS).
Cognitive functionbefore surgery and 5 days after surgeryCognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal cognitive assessment-basic (MoCA-B).
