AUTHORS: Elsaafien, Khalid PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 802-813, April 2023. BACKGROUND: Intraoperative inflammation may contribute to postoperative neurocognitive disorders after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Read MoreAUTHORS: Yamamoto, Natsuko MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia 136(4):p 772-778, April 2023. | BACKGROUND: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be associated with neuroinflammation, and sevoflurane suppresses surgery-induced inflammation. We hypothesized that low concentrations of sevoflurane would result in more impaired postoperative cognitive function compared to high concentrations. METHODS: Aged male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 21, 17–22 months) […]
