RenJi HospitalUnknownStarted Sep 1, 2014484 enrolledChinaNCT02220400

Abstract

Previous study demonstrated that neuroinflammation induced by surgery is the main cause of the postoperative cognitive dysfunction. As an agonist of NMDA receptor, ketamine is proved to be an anti-inflammation agent. In present study investigators hypothesized that low dose ketamine would prevent the cognition decline after orthopedic surgery in aged patients.
