Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane (SEV) and propofol (PRO) on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), with a focus on evaluating the efficacy of these anesthetic agents in preventing POCD.

Methods: A total of 113 patients undergoing CS with CPB were grouped into two: PRO group (n = 58) and SEV group (n = 55).
