Comparative Study
The effect of perioperative anesthetics for prevention of postoperative delirium on general anesthesia: A network meta-analysis.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common neurological system disorder in surgical patients. Anesthesia providers have a wide choice of sedative agents involving different mechanisms in clinical practice, and the incidence of POD varies regarding which sedative agent administered. This network meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively analyze the safety and efficacy of each choice for patients. ⋯ Our study provided meta-analytic evidence and suggested dexmedetomidine could be considered as the most effective sedative agent to reduce POD. However, clinical practitioners still need to weigh the pros and cons before choosing a sedative agent for individual patient.
