An interventional study of Prefrontal EEG (VEEGix by NeuroServo) in Post Operative Delirium, sponsored by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM). Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 120 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-30.

VEEGix is a portable device developed by NeuroServo for simplifying electroencephalograms at the bedside. It is an easy-to-use device that only requires the operator to place an adhesive strip of electrodes on the patient's forehead, connected to the device. The goal of this study is to determine EEG thresholds for the diagnostic of delirium.
Methods : This prospective observational study includes patients undergoing orthopedic or degestive surgery. Each subject will have an EEG reading before surgery and twice daily after surgery until discharge or up to 5 days. Patients will be monitored for post operative delirium using the 3D-Confusion Assessment Method. Delirium diagnostic will be confirmed by a geriatrician. EEG relative power reading will be compared between patient with and without a delirium diagnostic.
1,057 studies on the registry are indexed under Delirium; 238 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 234 is above the median of 120 across 599 interventional studies indexed under Delirium.
