“…Cognitive function assessments during early postoperative period can be influenced by postoperative pain, analgesic therapy and physical disability ( 1 ). Pain is a major contributor to cognitive dysfunction and effective strategies to reduce pain should be adopted ( 24 ). Although adequate analgesics were used for postoperative pain targeting a visual analog scale of 2 - 3 depending on the type of surgery, wide variability of surgery can be a limitation source of the current study.…”

“…Post-operative delirium in elderly is one of the most under-diagnosed clinical entities in anaesthesiology practice, which enhances the morbidity and mortality on this subset of the population. [ 22 ] We could find a few such studies with younger patients undergoing anaesthesia, comparing these drugs. Similar studies[ 2 23 24 ] have showed that sevoflurane affects the implicit memory and cognition of adequately anaesthetised subjects less than propofol.…”

“…There is a positive correlation with LOS and delirium in aged patient [65,66]. In a study highlighting the incidence of delirium in the elderly, it was found that patients with advanced age had a higher rate of post-operative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) [67,68]. A possible approach to dealing with POD in the elderly is to optimize pharmacologic intervention.…”
