摘要：As the aging population continues to increase worldwide, a proportionally increasing number of elderly patients will be undergoing surgical procedures requiring anesthesia care. It has been estimated that approximately one of every three surgical procedures are performed on a patient who is 65 years of age or older[1]. The incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) amongst the elderly population can vary significantly depending on patient's preexisting cognitive function, the nature of the surgical intervention, and other associated risk factors.
