Abstract

Postoperative delirium is defined as an acute alteration of consciousness with signs of inattention, disorientation and memory disturbances that fluctuate over time. More and more octogenarian patients cared for in the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation service of the Morón Hospital are undergoing surgical interventions of various kinds, having to use various anesthetic techniques depending on the intervention to be performed. The objective was to characterize the postoperative cognitive sphere of octogenarian patients under regional or general anesthesia treated at the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation service of the Morón Provincial General Teaching Hospital. A prospective longitudinal descriptive observational study was carried out. The study universe was made up of 55 octogenarian patients treated in the Surgical Unit; the sample was selected through an intentional non-probabilistic sampling, being made up of 30 octogenarian patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, which represents 54.5%. It showed that: Both anesthetic techniques showed similarities in terms of the modification of the cognitive state of octogenarian patients, but general orotracheal anesthesia had more influence in the cognitive sphere, especially due to anterograde amnesia caused by benzodiazepines. Hyperaxic delirium was the most common in both groups. He reached the conclusions: There is no difference as to which anesthetic technique has the most influence on the postoperative cognitive sphere of the octogenarian patient.
