NCT07513974
The study aims to test the relationship between the preoperative pain threshold and the intraoperative need for opioids. The objective of the study is to try to predict a patient's analgesic needs based on their objectively determined preoperative pain threshold. The investigators will include patients scheduled for elective cardiovascular surgery. The investigators will investigate the correlation between the preoperative pain threshold and intraoperative/postoperative opioid consumption in a highly standardized anesthesia setting.

Post-operative delirium is a common complication following cardiac surgery and is associated with increased 1 year mortality. Currently there are no drug therapies to prevent delirium. Orexin is a neuromodulator thought to play an important role in disordered sleep, one of the instigators of delirium. Lembrorexant is an orexin antagonist, originally approved for sleep, that may also reduce the incidence of delirium. The Investigators propose a pilot study to determine the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial comparing Lembrorexant to placebo in patients following cardiac surgery in reducing the incidence of delirium, and improving sleep.
