Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients has drew increasing attentions due to the growth of aging population. Since there are no specific drugs for cognition improvement, perioperative predictive factors become particularly important. Evaluation of perioperative brain function in elderly patients can assist clinicians to identify those with high risks, so as provide theoretical guidance for further effective intervention. In the current study, potential predictors of POCD through different detection methods were analyzed, using neuropsychological tests, brain oxygen monitoring, nerve injury biomarkers detection, imaging examinations and electroencephalogram. Meanwhile, related literature was reviewed. Key words: Brain function; Postoperative cognitive dysfunction; Predictors
