Neurologic Complications in Noncardiac Surgery

John M. Murkin, MD, FRCPC

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, University Campus LHSC, 339 Windermere Road, London, Ontario, N6A 5A5, Canada, jmurkin{at}uwo.ca

In this article, the incidence of nervous system injuries associated with noncardiac surgery is reviewed briefly. In general, these can be divided into injuries that are clinically apparent (eg, stroke or peripheral nerve damage), which may generally be detectable on clinical examination, and more subtle forms of brain injury (eg, personality changes and postoperative cognitive dysfunction), injuries that are primarily detected by neuropsychological testing.

Key Words: nerve damage • noncardiac surgery • postoperative cognitive dysfunction
