Research provides insight into a critical issue facing surgical patients: post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). POCD is a neurological complication that some patients experience after undergoing surgical procedures that require anesthesia. Anesthesia is not without risks. Sevoflurane, a widely-used anesthetic, has been identified as a significant factor contributing to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). While generally considered safe and effective, sevoflurane has been linked to certain neurocognitive deficits, including POCD. Resveratrol (RES) is a bioactive compound found in certain foods like grapes. RES is a known agonist for Silent Information Regulator 1 (SIRT1), a protein that has various neuroprotective roles.
