The Preventive Effect of Different Doses of Intranasal Insulin on Postoperative Delirium

Hip fractures are a common trauma in older adults and occur mainly in older people with osteoporosis. Surgery is the preferred choice for the vast majority of patients with severe pain and limited mobility in older aldults with hip fractures, resulting in higher mortality and disability rates with conservative treatment. But postoperative delirium becomes a challenge. At present, the treatment of delirium includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, but the effect is limited, and now the focus is on preventing delirium, so this study investigated the effect of intranasal insulin administration on the prevention of postoperative delirium.
