Perioperative neurological complications can be a result of anesthesia or surgical procedures. Both surgery and anesthesia increases the risk of neurological sequelae due to ischemia, hemorrhage, hypoxia, or metabolic disorder (Table 1). The impact can be devastating, leading to morbidity, increased length of stay, impaired quality of life, and mortality. During anesthesia, there is no standard monitoring for the neurological system compared with other organs (eg, electrocardiograph and blood pressure for the cardiovascular system, pulse oximetry, and capnography for the respiratory system). When patients present with neurological signs and symptoms perioperatively, early assessment and imaging is needed to facilitate prompt diagnosis and management. This article will provide an overview of common neurological complications in the perioperative period. To cover details of all neurological emergencies will be beyond the scope of this article. We will focus on common emergencies in general surgery with a brief discussion of neurological complications in specific surgical populations. The common presentation of these complications will be explored, followed by the diagnosis and management of these pathologies.

The likelihood of developing a medical condition requiring pharmacologic therapy increases with age. Older patients frequently take multiple medications, including prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) or complementary medicines, often termed polypharmacy. The average age of surgical patients is older than that of the general population, 1 so encountering polypharmacy perioperatively is common. In a South Korean review of 7.36 million patients in the National Health Insurance claims database, 36.9% of patients over the age of 65 used ≥ 5 prescription medications, while 7.1% used 10 or more medications. 2 In the United States, examination of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey revealed a point prevalence of polypharmacy ( ≥ 5 medications) of 44% in community-dwelling patients 65 years or older who did not have dementia, and 72% in those who did have dementia. 3 In a Danish population, the broader issues of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use was examined through a population-based register. 4 PIM can include inappropriate drug choice, polypharmacy, or potential drug-drug interactions, but generally refers to medications that should be avoided in older people due to the potential risks outweighing the bene fi ts. Although the use of PIM decreased from 2000 to 2015 (from 54.7% to 43.5% in people with dementia and from 39.5% to 28.8% in people without dementia), there remained a high prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing practices, including in patients with dementia. 4 While the term polypharmacy indicates the administration of multiple medications in a patient, there is no consensus de fi nition. A systematic review of polypharmacy de fi nitions categorized them as “ (1) numerical only (using the number of medications to de fi ne polypharmacy), (2) numerical with an associated duration of therapy or health care setting (such as during hospital stay), or (3) descriptive (using a brief description to de fi ne polypharmacy).
