About this trial
The aim of this pilot study is to establish a correlation between perioperative heart rate variability (HRV) as an expression of the shift in the balance of the autonomic nervous system and the occurrence of postoperative inflammation and delirium. The main question it aims to answer is: Do patient with increased sympathetic nervous system activity develop postoperative delirium (POD) more often than patients with increased parasympathetic tone?
