PBLD: Perioperative Management of Patients with Neurodegenerative Disease, Including Alzheimer’s Disease
Learning objectives:
After participating in this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the anesthetic risk factors associated with neurodegenerative disease that can result in a poor outcome in a non-cardiac surgery patient.
- Identify anesthetic agents and events associated with cognitive decline in patients with neurodegenerative disease and their suggested mechanism.
- Describe an evidence-based approach to managing a patient with neurodegenerative disease presenting for non-cardiac surgery.
