Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders (PND)
🎯 Definition (สำคัญมาก)
PND = cognitive / behavioral / affective change ช่วง perioperative
ประกอบด้วย:
1.
Preexisting cognitive impairment
2.
Postoperative delirium
3.
Delayed neurocognitive recovery (≤30
วัน)
4.
Neurocognitive disorder (postoperative) (≤12
เดือน)
📊 Epidemiology
- Delirium:
- สูงใน elderly (>65 yr): 4–55%
- Delayed
recovery: 17–43%
- Persistent
NCD: ~12% ใน major surgery
⚠️ Clinical types
1. Postoperative delirium
- hallmark:
- ↓ attention + altered
consciousness
- subtype:
- hyperactive
(agitation)
- hypoactive
(พบบ่อยกว่า)
👉 Hypoactive =
underdiagnosed
2. Delayed neurocognitive recovery
- ≤30
วัน
- ส่วนใหญ่ recover
3. NCD (postoperative)
- 30 วัน ถึง 12 เดือน
- mild → brain fog
- major
→ dementia-like
🧬 Pathophysiology
- Systemic
inflammation →
neuroinflammation
- brain
vulnerability (aging / dementia) →
amplified response
🔴 Risk factors (High
yield)
Patient-related
- Age
>65 (strongest)
- Preexisting
cognitive impairment
- Frailty
- Alcohol
- Polypharmacy
- DM,
vascular disease, stroke
- Sleep
disturbance
Surgery-related
- Major
surgery (cardiac, ortho, abdominal)
- Long
duration
- complexity
Others
- Institutional
factors (care quality)
🟢 PREOPERATIVE
1. Cognitive screening (สำคัญ)
- Mini-Cog
/ MMSE
- CAM (Confusion Assessment Method) baseline
- สอบถาม family
👉 ใช้เป็น baseline
+ risk stratification
2. Risk stratification
- Identify
high-risk → implement
prevention bundle
3. Counseling
- แจ้งผู้ป่วย + ญาติ:
- risk
delirium / cognitive decline
- prognosis
4. Cognitive prehabilitation
- evidence
ยังไม่ชัด
🟡 INTRAOPERATIVE
1. Avoid excessive anesthetic depth
- ใช้:
- ETAC
(end-tidal anesthetic concentration) (MAC (minimum alveolar concentration)-adjusted)
- EEG
/ BIS monitoring
👉 avoid:
- burst
suppression
- deep
anesthesia
2. Avoid hypotension
- Target:
- MAP
≥65
mmHg
- within
±20% baseline
👉 MAP <55 mmHg → ↑
delirium risk
3. Avoid cerebral desaturation
- rSO₂
(regional cerebral oxygen saturation) monitoring (selected cases)
4. Sedation strategy
- Avoid
oversedation (especially regional anesthesia)
5. Drug-related risks
🚫 High risk drugs
- Benzodiazepines
- Gabapentinoids
- Anticholinergics
- Meperidine
- Diphenhydramine
⚠️ Opioids
- both:
- overdose
→ delirium
- undertreated
pain → delirium
👉 ต้อง balance
🟢 Potentially protective
- NSAIDs
/ COX-2 inhibitors
- Acetaminophen
- Dexmedetomidine
(evidence supportive)
6. Anesthetic technique
- GA
vs regional → no
clear superiority
- TIVA
vs inhalation →
similar delirium risk
🔵 POSTOPERATIVE
1. Prevention bundle (สำคัญที่สุด)
- Reorientation
- Early
mobilization
- Sleep
hygiene
- Hydration
- Avoid
restraints
- Use
glasses/hearing aids
- Pain
control (opioid-sparing)
2. Screening
- CAM
/ CAM-ICU / 3D-CAM
3. Management
Delirium
- treat
reversible causes:
- drug
- infection
- metabolic
- severe
agitation:
- haloperidol
low dose
Cognitive decline
- ไม่มี specific treatment
- refer:
- geriatrics
/ neurology
🔥 Prognosis (ต้องจำ)
- Delirium
→ ↑ mortality + LOS
- ↑ risk dementia
- ~40% ไม่กลับ baseline
🧠 Clinical pearls
- 🧓
Age + baseline cognition = strongest predictors
- 💤
Sleep disturbance →
major trigger
- 💊
Benzodiazepine = avoid in elderly
- 🩸
Hypotension + cerebral hypoxia = preventable causes
- 🧠
Hypoactive delirium = miss easily →
ต้อง screen
- 🔁
Delirium = often reversible →
treat cause
🧭 Take-home message
PND = “brain complication of surgery”
→ prevention สำคัญกว่า
treatment
เน้น:
- identify
high-risk
- optimize
intraop physiology
- multidisciplinary
postoperative care
