Meta AnalysisEffects of anesthesia depth on postoperative cognitive function and inflammation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD) are common postoperative complications in elderly patients. The effect of anesthesia depth on cognitive function remains unknown. We aimed to assess the correlations between anesthesia depth, cognitive function, and inflammation. ⋯ Light anesthesia was associated with a decrease in POD and may promote better neurocognitive function postoperatively in comparison with deep anesthesia.
