Effect of electroencephalogram-guided anesthesia on postoperative delirium in older adults after surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative delirium is a frequent and severe complication among elderly surgical patients. Electroencephalogram (EEG)-guided anesthesia, which optimizes sedation depth, holds promise for preventing postoperative delirium; however, current research findings remain inconsistent. This meta-analysis incorporates the most recent trials to evaluate the effectiveness of EEG-guided anesthesia in reducing postoperative delirium incidence in older adults.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase from their inception to February 1, 2025, to identify eligible studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of electroencephalogram-guided anesthesia i
