Postoperative complications

  1. Delirium: It is the most common postoperative complication. This complication associates with morbidity and mortality. In most of the cases, patients remain undiagnosed as it appears normal or slightly lethargic.
  2. Stroke: Postoperative stroke occurs after or during surgery. cardiac arrest associates with a major risk for postoperative stroke.
  3. Spinal cord Ischaemia: SCI is associated with the surgical process of thoracoabdominal aneurysms. The mortality rate is high in patients.
  4. Postoperative visual loss: PVL occurs during elective surgeries like ischaemic optical neuropathy, cortical blindness. It involves embolic phenomena. The risk factors are associated with anterior ION include weight gain, anemia, and cardiopulmonary bypass.
