Association Between Neuromuscular Blockade and Its Reversal With Postoperative Delirium in Older Patients

AUTHORS: Ahrens, Elena cand. med. et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 18, 2025. BACKGROUND: Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (ND-NMBAs) are dose-dependently associated with residual paralysis, delayed recovery, and prolonged hospitalization, factors that can predispose patients to postoperative delirium. We hypothesized that neuromuscular blockade is associated with a higher risk of delirium after surgery, and that […]

The Effect of Electroencephalographic Trajectory During Anesthesia Emergence on the Indices Monitoring the Hypnotic Component

AUTHORS: Obert, David P. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia April 25, 2025. BACKGROUND: Postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are frequent and serious complications that cause an enormous social and economic burden. A previous study demonstrated that certain electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns during emergence from general anesthesia are associated with a higher risk for PND. Compared to […]
