Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction

Abstract: POCD can markedly impair postoperative recovery. The findings of pertinent studies performed to date are difficult to generalize because of heterogeneous patient groups and different measuring techniques and study designs. Further investigation is needed to determine which test instruments are best for clinical use and which preventive strategies might lessen the incidence of POCD.

“…General anesthesia might cause neuroinflammation in the developing brain [7], but it is difficult to determine cognitive changes caused by the anesthetic agent per se. POCD is usually transient, and it is difficult to establish clear diagnostic criteria for POCD [1,8]. Elucidation of the biological mechanism of POCD would be useful for improving the diagnosis and prevention of POCD.…”

“…It has been widely accepted that, apart from the triggering factor of surgery, many factors contribute to the considerable risks associated with POCD, including old age, pre-existing cerebral, cardiac, and vascular diseases, alcohol abuse, low educational level, and intra-and postoperative complications (Rundshagen, 2014). Oxidative stress is described as a disturbed balance between the generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) (Yu et al, 2015;Pruchniak et al, 2016), in which condition, antioxidant defense system of the cells cannot coordinate with the increasing ROS and therefore cytotoxicity occurs.…”
