| Modern anesthesia has an increasing number of made it viable to perform complicated surgical procedures and diagnostic
strategies for patients with confidence and led to great advances inside the medical discipline. The aim of the study
Impairment of memory in patients go through the general anesthesia along with contributing factors. This cross?sectional
study was performed in a Swamy Vivekanandha Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Patients with the
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class I, II, and III who were candidates for elective abdominal surgery were
enrolled. Patients answered several questions based on the Wechsler Memory Scale– Revised V (WMS ? R ? V), a
standardized questionnaire, minutes before entering the operating room (OR) and again after 24h post-operation, and the
differences were recorded. Five hundred patients belonging to ASA Class I–III who were candidates for elective abdominal
surgery and GA were enrolled in present study. Our study population consisted of 198 (40%) females and 302 (60.4%)
males between the age of 8 and 18 years. GA affects the short?timeperiod memory, and its most impact is on range repeat.
There has been general anaesthesia for non-obligatory surgical procedure in younger youngsters does no longer look like
related to declines in working memory, processing velocity, and quality motor skills within the first 3 months
postoperatively, even in kids who have prior exposure to general anaesthesia.GA notably reduces the patient’s short?term
memory after the surgeryddd |
