Post Surgery Brain Fog: New Evidence Questions Long-Term Safety of Anesthesia

Post Surgery Brain Fog: New Evidence Questions Long-Term Safety of Anesthesia Introduction Post-surgicalbrain fog represents a significant and under-recognized complication of anesthesia and surgery, affecting a substantial proportion of patients. Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND), which encompass postoperative delirium and longer-term cognitive decline, are reported in 11.7% to 63% of individuals following surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
