Given the high incidence of neurocognitive complications in elderly patients following major orthopedic surgeries, neuroprotective strategies during anesthesia are of growing interest. Both ketamine and dexmedetomidine have shown potential in reducing neuroinflammation and improving postoperative cognitive outcomes in previous studies.\n\nEighty adult patients (ASA I-III, aged 18-100) scheduled for elective total hip or knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia will be randomized into four groups: control (saline infusion), ketamine infusion, dexmedetomidine infusion, and combined ketamine + dexmedetomidine. Cognitive assessments will be performed preoperatively and on postoperative days 2 and 15 using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Delirium assessments will be conducted using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) postoperatively on days 1, 3, and 15.\n\nSecondary outcomes include perioperative levels of cortisol, CRP, and fibrinogen, as well as postoperative pain scores (VAS) and analgesic consumption. The results are expected to clarify whether intraoperative administration of ketamine or dexmedetomidine can reduce the incidence of POD/POCD and improve postoperative recovery.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '100 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Scheduled for elective total joint arthroplasty (hip or knee)\n* ASA physical status I-III\n* Age between 18 and 100 years\n* Ability to provide informed consent and comply with cognitive assessments\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pre-existing cognitive dysfunction or diagnosed neurodegenerative disease\n* Hearing or language impairment interfering with MMSE/CAM evaluation\n* Known allergy to ketamine or dexmedetomidine\n* Significant cardiac arrhythmia (e.g., supraventricular tachycardia, 2nd or 3rd degree AV block)\n* Renal insufficiency (GFR \\<30 mL/min/1.73 m²)\n* Severe hepatic dysfunction'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06963294', 'briefTitle': 'Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine for Delirium in Joint Arthroplasty', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Istinye University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effect of Intraoperative Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine Use on Postoperative Delirium and Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Haseki berna'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Saline Infusion', 'description': 'Participants receive 0.9% saline at 30 mL/hour during surgery.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Ketamine']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Ketamine Infusion', 'description': 'Participants receive ketamine at 0.1 mg/kg/hour as intraoperative infusion', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Ketamine']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Dexmedetomidine Infusion', 'description': 'Participants receive dexmedetomidine at 0.5 mcg/kg/hour as intraoperative infusion', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Ketamine']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Ketamine + Dexmedetomidine', 'description': 'Participants receive a combination of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg/hour) and dexmedetomidine (0.5 mcg/kg/hour) as intraoperative infusion.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Ketamine']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Ketamine', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Ketamine will be administered as an intravenous infusion at 0.1 mg/kg/hour during surgery', 'armGroupLabels': ['Dexmedetomidine Infusion', 'Ketamine + Dexmedetomidine', 'Ketamine Infusion', 'Saline Infusion']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '34250', 'city': 'Istanbul', 'state': 'Merkez Mahallesi', 'country': 'Turkey (Türkiye)', 'facility': 'Istinye Üniversity', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 41.01384, 'lon': 28.94966}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'ilke dolgun', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'ilkeser2004@gmail.com', 'phone': '+905555485632'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Istinye University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Assoc. prof', 'investigatorFullName': 'İlke Dolgun', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Haseki Training and Research Hospital'}}}}
