Emerging & Relevant Literature
Comparison of total intravenous with inhalational anesthesia in terms of postoperative delirium and complications in older patients: a nationwide population-based study
Postoperative delirium incidences are increasing in older adults. A Cochrane Review found no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative delirium between total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalational anesthesia (IA). This study evaluated the differences in postoperative delirium and morbidity between patients who underwent either TIVA or IA. Read the study abstract here.
