- Abstract: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD)is a common complication in the periopera-tive period,posing a significant threat to patients'brain health and rapid recovery.However,the specific pathogenesis remains unclear,resulting in a lack of effective prevention and treatment methods.The theoret-ical research on cognitive function diseases in traditional Chinese medicine provides valuable insights for comprehensive POCD prevention and treatment.In clinical practice,emphasis is placed on nurturing the"spirit"before surgery and regulating it afterwards while also harmonizing the heart,liver,kidney,and oth-er organs.This approach has shown promising results.Guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory,clini-cal practice has significantly enriched our understanding of POCD prevention and treatment methods while opening up new avenues for future treatments.This article reviews recent advances in theoretical research and clinical practices of traditional Chinese medicine regarding POCD with the aim of exploring more effec-tive ideas and approaches for its prevention and treatment.
