Abstrakt: Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether postoperative pager alerts to the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP), a delirium prevention service, would accelerate program enrollment for older surgical patients. This study also tested feasibility of family care partner interventions for delirium prevention.
Methods: This single-center, pilot clinical trial factorially randomized 57 non-cardiac surgical patients ≥70 years of age to 4 arms: (1) standard care, (2) pager alerts to accelerate HELP enrollment, (3) family care partner-based delirium prevention interventions, or (4) a combined arm with both HELP and family interventions. The primary clinical outcome was delirium (assessed through the Confusion Assessment Method).
Results: In the pager alerting arms, 13/24 (54%) participants were enrolled by HELP on postoperative day 1 compared with 0/26 (0%, P<0.001) in the non-alerting arms. Median [interquartile range] time spent in delirium prevention protocols was significantly longer in pager alerting arms than in non-alerting arms (39 [5 to 75] min vs. 0 [0 to 0] min; P<0.001). Family care partners spent 18 [11 to 25)] hours at the bedside over the first 3 postoperative days. There was no significant difference in delirium occurrence in participants randomized to pager alert arms compared with non-alerting arms (odds ratio, 1.02, 95% CI, 0.97-1.07; P=0.390). Similarly, there was no significant difference in delirium occurrence in family intervention arms compared with nonintervention arms (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI 0.93-10.02; P=0.270).
Conclusions: Pager alerts significantly reduced time to HELP enrollment, albeit without reducing delirium incidence in this pilot study. Family care partners spent substantial time at the bedside during the study period.
