A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF ANESTHESIA ON MEMORY LOSS AMONG PATIENTS: ASSESSING THE CONTROL TREATMENT FOR THEIR SAFETY

ABSTRACT

Anesthesia is fundamental to surgical care but has been increasingly linked to postoperative memory impairment in some patients, particularly within the framework of postoperative neurocognitive disorders. This study critically examined the impact of anesthesia on memory loss, focusing on the mechanisms involved and the factors that increase patient vulnerability. It further assesses control treatments such as tailored anesthetic selection, depth-of-anesthesia monitoring, and perioperative neuroprotective strategies. The analysis indicates that although anesthesia-related memory loss cannot be completely avoided, its risk can be substantially reduced through individualized, evidence-based management. Emphasizing neurocognitive safety alongside surgical success is therefore essential for achieving safe and holistic patient care. On this basis it was concluded that anesthesia can contribute to transient or persistent memory impairment, particularly among vulnerable patient populations such as the elderly and those with preexisting cognitive risk factors. One of the recommendations made was that anesthetic techniques and agents should be selected based on individual patient risk profiles, particularly age and baseline cognitive status to minimize the likelihood of postoperative memory impairment.
