Monitoring nocturnal oxygen levels in older patients after hip surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to investigate the relationship between postoperative nocturnal hypoxia and the development of delirium in geriatric patients following hip fracture surgery. Patients aged over 70 will be monitored for their oxygen saturation levels during three nights in the hospital using a pulse oximeter. The occurrence of in-hospital complications, particularly delirium, will be recorded and analyzed in relation to the levels of hypoxia experienced. The findings may lead to further research on the potential benefits of oxygen therapy in preventing delirium in this patient population.
