Article Synopsis
- After laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, some older patients experience confusion called postoperative delirium, which this study wanted to understand better.
- The researchers tested 84 patients over 60 years old to see how their Mini-Cog scores (a simple brain test) and two anesthesia methods (sevoflurane and TIVA) affected their chances of getting delirium.
- They found that patients with low Mini-Cog scores had a higher risk of confusion after surgery, and those who received sevoflurane were more likely to experience delirium compared to those who had TIVA.
