The research objective is to investigate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the delirium monitor based on 4 standardized EEG electrodes who record brain activity.
The overall objective of this study is to identify valid biomarkers for POD/POCD.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the prevalence of delirium between oxycodone and morphine, administered by CSCI, for the treatment of pain in dying patients with a diminished renal function.The secondary objective is to compare the…
