The effects of computerised cognitive training on post-CABG delirium and cognitive change: A prospective randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairments, including delirium, are common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Improving cognition pre- and post-operatively using computerised cognitive training (CCT) may be an effective approach to improve cognitive outcomes in CABG patients.

Objectives

Investigate the effect of remotely supervised CCT on cognitive outcomes, including delirium, in older adults undergoing CABG surgery.

Methods

Thirty-six participants, were analysed in a single-blinded randomised controlled trial (CCT Intervention: n = 18, Control: n = 18). CCT was completed by the intervention group pre-operatively (every other day, 45-60-minute sessions until surgery) and post-operatively, beginning 1-month post-CABG (3 x 45-60-minute sessions/week for 12-weeks), whi
