Abstract
(Abstracted from J Clin Anesth, 39:77–81, 2017) Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is a common complication following surgery, especially in elderly patients (aged >60 years). Overall sleep loss and sleep fragmentation have been known to negatively impact cognitive performance, thus emphasizing the need to improve postoperative sleep quality to ameliorate POCD.
