Effect of Ascorbic Acid on the Incidence of Postoperative Delirium Among Elderly Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery: A Pilot Study
The incidence of postoperative delirium among older patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery who received ascorbic acid perioperatively (2 g/day for 2 days) was 33%. This incidence was comparable to that observed in a previous observational study, suggesting that ascorbic acid administration may not be effective in preventing the incidence of postoperative delirium.
