The provided abstract is truncated and does not report the quantitative results of sevoflurane versus propofol on early cognitive functions.
Why the study?
Post-operative cognitive dysfunction causes substantial morbidity, increased mortality, and prolonged impairment, particularly in elderly patients undergoing major surgery under general anesthesia.
POCD linked to morbidity in elderly surgical patients; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Background Post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is an important issue that is associated with substantial morbidity and increased mortality, especially in elderly patients who have undergone major surgical procedures under general anesthesia. The symptoms of POCD may last for several months after surgery, leading to extended hospital stays, a decline in life quality, an increased need for social assistance, and significant financial strain on the patients.
