OBJECTIVE: To determine if ketamine attenuates postoperative delirium concomitant with
an anti-inflammatory effect in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary …

Background Delirium is a common and serious postoperative complication. Subanaesthetic
ketamine is often administered intraoperatively for postoperative analgesia, and some …

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality as well as prolonged stay in both the intensive care unit and the …

BACKGROUND: Delirium is common after cardiac surgery and may be partly related to the
systemic inflammatory response triggered by the surgery and the use of cardiopulmonary …

Background Postoperative cognitive complications are associated with substantial morbidity
and mortality. Ketamine has been suggested to have neuroprotective effects in various …

Objective: To determine whether ketamine administration affects markers of inflammation in
cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to investigate differences between …

Background: Post‐operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) commonly occurs after cardiac
surgery. Ketamine exerts neuroprotective effects after cerebral ischemia by anti‐excitotoxic …

Objective The authors studied the incidence of postoperative delirium among cardiac
surgery patients using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Design …

Delirium is a common complication following cardiac surgery, and the predictors of delirium
remain unclear. The authors performed a prospective observational analysis to develop a …

OBJECTIVE: The authors' intention was to evaluate the incidence of the three subtypes of
delirium, the risk factors of the subtypes in cardiac surgery, and the impact of the subtypes …
