Study summary
This study is a prospective observational study that analyzes the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing liver transplantation, based on the use of the inhalational anesthetic sevoflurane and the intravenous anesthetic propofol.
Eligibility

* Adults aged 19 years and older
* Patients undergoing liver transplantation who are scheduled to receive anesthesia with the inhaled anesthetic sevoflurane or the intravenous anesthetic propofol.

* Individuals with hearing loss, cognitive impairment or obvious dementia, hepatic encephalopathy, or difficulty in communication.
* Diagnosed with neurological disorders (e.g., brain hemorrhage, stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cognitive impairment, etc.).
Primary outcome measure(s)
- incidence of postoperative delirium — from postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 7
At least two times a day during the hospitalization period. Patients diagnosed with delirium using the CAM were evaluated for the duration, symptoms, and type of delirium (e.g., reduced awareness of the environment; poor cognitive skills; behavioral changes; and emotional disturbances). \*\* Confusion assessment methods(CAM) diagnostic algorism (positive or negative result, positive means delirium) CAM is considered positive if features 1 and 2 are present, with at least one of features 3 or 4. Below are the four criteria of features : 1. Acute onset and fluctuating course Determined by collateral history or repeated clinic assessment 2. Inattention Counting from 20-1 is a simple (if blunt) test for this 3. Disorganized thinking 4. Altered levels of consciousness
