Summary
Cognitive disorders in patients underwent general anesthesia are discussed for decades, but
whether there were precise relationship between general anesthesia and dysgnosia is yet to be
guaranteed. Although controversial data reported from experimental studies in animals, the
investigators still proposed that general anesthetics could impair the normally organized
system of the central nervous system, which finally displayed a dysfunction of cognition
after general anesthesia in a short- or long-term period. Therefore, different types of
general anesthetics such as inhalational anesthetics and intravenous anesthetics, the
investigators hypothesized, had a long-term influence on patients' cognitive ability.
