Randomized Controlled Trial[Incidence of the post-operative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia and patient-controlled epidural analgesia].
To explore the effect of general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia and patient-controlled epidural analgesia on the incidence of the post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients. ⋯ The general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia and patient-controlled epidural analgesia can effectively maintain the stable hemodynamic status in the patients and display inhibitory effect on postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
