  • Are older patients at risk for confusion after anesthesia?

    As we grow older we become less tolerant to many things and more susceptible to potential negative side effects of medications. Healthy elderly people can and do tolerate anesthesia very well. Anesthesiologists know that elderly patients may not tolerate anesthesia as well and start with lower doses and titrate anesthetic levels as needed so the patient can get through the surgical procedure safely. If your mother already has confusion, she will be at increased risk for postoperative worsening of that confusion and will need to be watched carefully until she has cleared the anesthetic and recovered back to her baseline. Many hernia surgeries can be performed with minimal sedation and local anesthesia and avoid the side effects of deep general anesthesia altogether. The local anesthetic is numbing medication that is injected into the tissue where the hernia is being repaired similar to what a dentist does when working in your mouth. Your anesthesiologist will discuss the pros and cons of both general and local anesthetics with you preoperatively and help you and your mother decide what is best for her. Whatever is done, the increased confusion your mother may experience because of the anesthesia will be temporary and will go away. JRS READ MORE
