Development of a Novel Self-administered Cognitive Assessment Tool and Normative Data for Older Adults
Background: Preexisting cognitive impairment in surgical patients is one of the leading risk factors for adverse cognitive outcomes such as postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. We developed a self-administered tablet computer application intended to assess the individual risk for adverse postoperative cognitive outcomes. This cross-sectional study aimed to establish normative data for the tool. Materials and Methods: Healthy volunteers aged 65 years and above were administered the Mini-Mental State Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimerâ...

Home-based Cognitive Prehabilitation in Older Surgical Patients: A Feasibility Study
Conclusions: Short-term, home-based cognitive training before surgery is unlikely to be feasible for many older patients. Barriers to training include feeling overwhelmed, technical issues with training, and preoperative time commitment. (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology)

A Narrative Review of Cardiovascular Abnormalities After Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Conclusions: Various cardiovascular abnormalities are common after spontaneous ICH. The workup of patients with spontaneous ICH should involve 12-lead ECG, cardiac troponin-I, as well as BNP, and echocardiogram to evaluate for heart failure. Blood pressure control with preservation of cerebral perfusion pressure is a cornerstone of hemodynamic management after ICH. The perioperative implications of hemodynamic perturbations after ICH warrant urgent further examination. (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology)
