Liraglutide in Preventing Delirium in Diabetic Elderly After Cardiac Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Liraglutide injection: Subcutaneous injection of liraglutide: 0.6 mg administered the day before surgery, 1.8 mg administered post-anesthesia induction on the day of surgery, followed by 0.6 mg daily for the first three postoperative days.
Placebo injection: Subcutaneous injection of Placebo: the same volume as liraglutide administrated at the corresponding times.
Study summary
This study aims to clarify the preventive effect of perioperative liraglutide application on postoperative delirium in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The incidence of delirium — One day before surgery and within the first seven days after surgery.
Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), or its variant for the Intensive Care Unit, known as CAM-ICU, is the tool used to assess the incidence of delirium. For CAM, the scale ranges from a minimum value of 11 to a maximum of 44, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. In contrast, CAM-ICU does not utilize a numerical scale; it is a qualitative assessment designed to evaluate confusion without assigning specific values.
