Postoperative Cognitive Training to Prevent Delirium

The intervention consists of computer-based cognitive training in the areas of attention, processing speed, memory, emotional intelligence, reasoning and orientation. The training takes place under supervision for 120 minutes a day from the first to the fifth postoperative day.

Here, an audio book is listened to for 2h daily for the first five postoperative days (or until discharge from hospital if earlier). The audio book is brought and set up by study staff.
