Interesting article I found posted on Facebook. It deserves a thread and discussion for what it shares.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

It is interesting on their conclusions about the choice of anesthesia and the elderly.

...their conclusions about the choice of anesthesia and the elderly.

Mom had Lewy-body dementia. When her ability to swallow without aspiration into her lungs was affected, she choose during a particularly lucid few hours to have a feeding tube implanted. Educated by her neuro and knowing she reacted catastrophically to psychoactive drugs, I had him consult with the gastro on what to use for sedation -- they elected to use Fentanyl with a half dose of Benedryl. Her baseline cognitive function was unaffected -- hooray as that had been a huge concern. I posted this link in a LBD group for others whose loved one might need anesthesia. I am also going to send this link to her neuro.

Thanks for posting!
