Temperature Management on Postoperative Delirium

At present, the pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to postoperative delirium in elderly hip fracture patients remain elusive, with predominant research concentrating on neural inflammation, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and metabolic irregularities. The influence of perioperative temperature management on postoperative delirium remains uncertain and may correlate with surgical modality and intraoperative temperature modulation. Hence, this study endeavors to juxtapose intraoperative temperature variations among elderly hip fracture patients, probing their ramifications on postoperative delirium.
