Meta AnalysisPeripheral nerve block and cognitive impairment after thoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Postoperative cognitive impairment is common in surgical patients, including postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Several studies investigating the association between peripheral nerve block and the risk of cognitive impairment after thoracic surgery showed conflicting results.
