Cortical Dynamics and Postoperative Cognition: Comment

“…To the Editor: W e read with great interest the recent article by Vlisides et al 1 The authors demonstrated that while intraoperative cortical connectivity measured using 16-channel electroencephalography (EEG) was not linked to postoperative cognitive function, global theta activity was associated with postoperative delirium. The potential utility of intraoperative EEG in predicting or ameliorating postoperative delirium is fascinating, and the authors have provided a dedicated EEG analysis of cortical connectivity.…”

“…W e read with great interest the recent article by Xu et al 1 that discusses how the Swallowing, Tongue protrusion, Airway protection reflected by spontaneous and suctioning cough, and Glasgow coma scale Evaluation (STAGE) score of neurologic patients may predict the success of extubation. However, we have four points of concern.…”
