[Development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction following major vascular surgery].
Masui. the Japanese Journal of Anesthesiology 2014 November
The development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a devastating complication, leading to a poor postoperative quality of life. Even though the number of patients undergoing major vascular surgery has increased, the development of POCD has not been well evaluated in these patients compared with patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). According to previous reports, more patients undergoing major vascular surgery by deep circulatory arrest or retrograde cerebral perfusion, and an equal or even larger number of patients undergoing surgery by selective cerebral perfusion, seem to develop POCD when compared with patients after CABG. However, only a small numbers of patients have been assessed and the timing of evaluating POCD has varied in previous studies. Well-organized studies with a sufficient number of cases and systematic post-operative evaluation of POCD are necessary.
