An observational study in Emergence Delirium, Anesthesia, sponsored by Hongjiao Xu. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-20.
Sponsored by Hongjiao Xu · Observational
The aim of this study is to verify the generalizability of the fBFI-ENO score (extraversion + neuroticism - openness) constructed based on the Rapid Big Five Personality Scale - 10 across different genders, ages, and surgical types,which has shown good predictive ability for Emergence Delirium in previous studies.
752 studies on the registry are indexed under Emergence Delirium; 262 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 880 is above the median of 164 across 278 observational studies indexed under Emergence Delirium.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patients scheduled for non-cardiac surgery, undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, aged 18 years or older, and with ASA classification of I-III.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

The occurrence of emergence delirium during the recovery period of general anesthesia
Sedation-agitation scale，A score of 5 to 7 is judged as delirium
Time frame: Within 1 hour after the operation
delirium stratification
Light：It occurs under strong stimulation, such as suctioning phlegm, but stops as soon as the stimulation disappears. Moderate:It occurs without stimulation and lasts for at least 5 minutes, but does not require medical staff intervention by the staff. Heavy:It should last for at least 5 minutes and must be controlled through medication and/or physical restraints.
Time frame: within 1 hour after operation
Postoperative NRS pain and medication
NRS (Numerical Rating Scale, Digital Evaluation Scale) is composed of 11 numbers from 0 to 10. Patients use these 11 numbers from 0 to 10 to describe the intensity of pain. The higher the number, the more severe the pain.If NRS≥4，Sufentanil 5μg will be given.
Time frame: within 1 hour after operation
No study locations are listed for this record.
Start is estimated for Aug 2026; primary completion for Aug 2028, 24 months later.
Of 180 non-industry observational studies under Emergence Delirium, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 24 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 180 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43.
