Abstract:
Objective To determine the influence of general anesthesia on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ -Ⅱ patients aged 50-70 years undergoing elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia ( n = 20) or general anesthesia combined with epidural block (n =20) were studied.Patients with psychiatrical or neurological disorders or taking hyponotics regularly were excluded.General anesthesia was induced with propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg and fentanyl 2?g/kg.Tracheal or bronchial intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.6mg/kg.The patients were then mechanically ventilated and PETCO2 was maintained at 30-40mm Hg. Anesthesia was maintained with 1.0%-2.0% isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. Epidural catheter was inserted at T8.9 and a mixture of 0.33% poutocaine and 2%lidocaine was infused through catheter at a rate of 4-6ml/h by using Graseby 3500 infusion pump.Radial artery was cannulated for intra-arterial pressure monitoring. ECG, PETCO2 and end-tidal-isoflurane concentration were monitored during operation. Whenever BP was
