This study involves collecting exhaled breath containing hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are present in very low quantity (parts per billion). VOCs in the exhaled gase carry information to indicate individual's risk for Postoperative Delirium and its severity. Our long-term objectives are to identify breathomic patterns for prediction, early detection, and stratification of POD during pre- and post-operative phases.
