Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of different methods of anesthesia and analgesia on early postoperative cognitive dysfunction after non-cardiac surgery in the elderly].
To determine if different methods of anesthesia and analgesia will influence the incidence of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) after non-cardiac surgery in the elderly. ⋯ Early POCD occurred in 46.7% of the elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery. However, there was no significant difference between the effects of two different methods of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia on the incidence of POCD. Short duration of education and operation of general surgery were risk factors of early POCD.
