The early recovery of cognitive function after total-hip replacement under hypotensive epidural anesthesia.
Recovery of cognitive function immediately after major surgery has not been previously reported, partly because of residual drug effects and pain. ⋯ The Stroop Color and Word Test can be used to assess change in cognitive function immediately after surgery. Total-hip replacement performed under regional anesthesia with propofol sedation enables recovery of cognitive function (as assessed by SCWT) 2 hours after surgery.
