Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication of surgery associated with prolonged hospitalisation, long-term cognitive decline, dementia and mortality. There is increasing evidence that electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring may reduce the incidence of POD, however, the best method for achieving this is unclear.
Method: This presentation will present the results of a multicentre randomised clinical trial of 515 at-risk patients undergoing major surgery from 8 centres in 3 countries who were assessed for POD for 5 days postoperatively.

Methods: We performed secondary analysis of a combined prehospital and in-hospital database of trauma patients utilizing ESO electronic medical records from 2018 to 2022.
