Intraoperative hypotension and postoperative delirium in elderly male patients undergoing laryngectomy: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common, transient postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients. The relationship between POD and intraoperative hypotension remains unclear. This study aims to determine if intraoperative hypotension predicts POD in elderly male patients undergoing laryngectomy.

Methods

This study included male patients over 65 years old who underwent laryngectomy between April 2018 and January 2022. The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) was used to diagnose delirium. Intraoperative hypotension was defined as a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) during surgery that was less than 30% of the preoperative level for at least 30 minutes. The relationship between intraoperative hypotension and POD incidence was adjusted for patient demographics and
