The Effect of 40 Hz Transcranial Stimulation on the Incidence of Delirium After Total Hip Replacement or Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty in Elderly Patients.

Delirium is an acute confusional state, it is a sign of acute encephalopathy, also known as acute brain failure, acute brain dysfunction or mental state changes.Postoperative delirium can cause post-traumatic stress disorder, affects patients' quality of life, extend the length of hospital stay, increased hospitalization cost, and is closely relative to short-term and long-term mortality after surgery.
