The Perioperative
Cognition Professional Interest Area will present a session addressing some of
the key issues associated with the perioperative management of at-risk and
cognitively impaired patients, including immediate, short and long-term risks.
This is a key issue for the appropriate care of the elderly given that 30% of
hospital interventions occur in those aged 65 years or more.
Speakers will
address a variety of topics which impact on the benefit healthcare
interventions can achieve and implications of these interventions in vulnerable
individuals, including long-term functional outcomes. Perioperative delirium
and its consequences will be detailed; followed by strategies to assist
healthcare workers in appropriate perioperative care of impaired patients to
reduce risk and improve outcome.
This session will
include the presentation of recent animal and clinical data addressing the role
of preoperative cognitive status on short and long-term outcome, the role of
anesthesia on cognitive trajectory and Alzheimer's disease, neuroinflammation,
factors which cause cognitive vulnerability in older individuals, and
progression to dementia following anesthesia and surgery.
