TL;DR: Ondansetron, dexamethasone, and droperidol each reduced the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting by about 26 percent, and the safest or least expensive antiemetic interventions should be used first.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the incidence of POCD would be less with regional anaesthesia rather than general, and this work has shown this to be the case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Middle-aged Patients

TL;DR: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction occurs frequently but resolves by 3 months after surgery, and may be associated with decreased activity during this period, as reported in subjective report overestimates the incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive dysfunction after minor surgery in the elderly
Jaume Canet,Johan Raeder,Lars S. Rasmussen,Mats Enlund,HM Harrie Kuipers,CD Hanning,Jellemer Jolles,Kari Korttila,Volkert Siersma,C Dodds,H Abildstrom,J. R. Sneyd,P. Vila,T Johnson,L Muñoz Corsini,Jeffrey H. Silverstein,IK Nielsen,J. T. Moller +17 more
TL;DR: Find the incidence and risk factors for POCD in elderly patients undergoing minor surgery and type of surgery and hospitalization are found to be important prognostic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to study postoperative nausea and vomiting
TL;DR: This paper should provide essential information for the design, conduct, and presentation of these studies of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) to increase comparability among future studies and help clinicians in assessing and reading the literature on PONV.
