Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Predicting Postoperative Delirium in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy Surgeries.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of electroencephalography (EEG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) as modalities of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in predicting postoperative delirium (POD) in patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) surgery.

Methods: A total cohort of 425 patients was included in this study. Medical record data were reviewed retrospectively and their documented significant IONM data were analyzed and integrated into the study for each patient.

Role of Intraoperative Electroencephalography in Predicting Postoperative Delirium in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgeries.

Objective: To determine the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) in predicting postoperative delirium (POD) in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries with EEG monitoring.

Methods: A total of 1161 patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries with EEG monitoring were included in the study, and their data were retrospectively reviewed. POD assessment was done utilizing Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).
