Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of edaravone on postoperative delirium in aged patients following total hip -re-placement surgery . Methods Two hundred and forty-six patients undergoing unilateral hip replacement surgery were randomly divided into edaravone group and control group .Patients in the edaravone group were intravenous injected with edaravone 30 mg before anesthesia induction, whereas patients in the control group received the same volume of saline solution .On preoperative day 1 and postoperative day 1, confusion assessment was applied to evaluate the consciousness of patients .The length of hospital stay , incidence of myocardial infarc-tion, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and transfusion volume were also recorded .Also, the levels of plasma malondialdehyde ( MDA) superoxide dismutase ( SOD) , neuron-specific enolase ( NSE) and S100βprotein ( S100β) were measured on the preoperative and postoperative day 1. Results There was no difference in the length of hospital stay , the incidence of perioperative acute pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction and stroke (P>0.05).POD was significantly lower in the edaravone group than the control group (P<0.05).Plasma levels of MDA, SOD, NSE and S100βwere comparable between the two groups (P>0.05).On the postoperative day 1, plasma levels of MDA and NSE were significantly lower in the edaravone group than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Edar-avone can reduce the incidence of POD in aged patients following total hip-replacement surgery .
