Dexmedetomidine May Reduce IL-6 Level and the Risk of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients After Surgery: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Dexmedetomidine (DEX) was widely used in clinical work. However, the effectiveness of DEX on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) was still need to be confirmed. The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore whether DEX can reduce the incidence of POCD on the first day and seventh postoperative day. The results showed that lower incidence of POCD associated with DEX treatment on the first (odds ratio [OR]: 0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31-0.54) or seventh postoperative day (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.36-… Show more

“…The incidence of POCD between the four groups of patients was compared [ 14 ]. Inflammatory factors and brain protection indicators: 3 ml of venous blood was drawn in the early morning from four groups of patients at T0 (1 day before operation), T1 (1 day after operation), T2 (3 days after the operation), and T3 (7 days after the operation).…”

“…However, the exact mechanism of developing POCD remains unknown [ 13 ]. The majority of researchers consider that neuroinflammation exerts an crucial role in the development of POCD [ 14 16 ].…”

“…14,21 To further explore the roles of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of POCD, the levels of IL-6, hs-CRP and CGRP were assessed according to previous studies. 5,17,22,23 IL-6, a key pro-inflammatory factor in the acute stage of trauma, is produced rapidly in response to infection and tissue damage. 24 Hs-CRP, one of the most common markers of systemic inflammation, can rise sharply within a few hours once our body suffered from damage, inflammation, and infection.…”
