Analgesia Methods and Early Mobilization in Geriatric ICU Patients After Major Surgery

Effect of Analgesia Methods on Early Mobilization and Patient Satisfaction in Geriatric Patients Admitted to Intensive Care After Major Surgery

Sponsor

Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Jun 15, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Postoperative Pain Frailty Delirium - Postoperative Postoperative Care in Geriatric Intensive Care Patients

Summary

This study looks at how different pain-control methods affect how quickly older adults get out of bed and start moving again after major surgery. Researchers will observe patients aged 65 and older who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after major surgery. Doctors will use their usual pain-control methods - either medication given through a vein, an epidural, or a nerve block - based on standard clinical practice; the study team will not change or choose the treatment. The study will record how long it takes for each patient to first sit up, stand, or walk after surgery, along with pain levels, confusion (delirium), how satisfied patients are with their pain control, and how long they stay in the ICU. The goal is to better understand which pain-control approaches may help older patients recover and move more quickly and safely after major surgery.

Eligibility

Min Age: 65 Years
