ABSTRACT
Cognitive function may decline after surgical procedures. Cognitive postoperative dysfunction (CPOD) is subtle and requires neuropsychological test for diagnosis. Multifactorial in origin, its cause is unknown but associated with different risk factors, which especially affects origin people submitted to extense surgery. CPOD is transient, but in some cases is prolonged and is associated with an increase in mortality and permanente disability. The aging population and the increase of elderly patients requiring surgery a cause of concern. Clinical studies are required to recognize preventive and therapeutic measures to reduce CPOD in the future. (AU)
