title: [The dynamics of the state of higher mental functions after surgical reconstruction of carotid stenosis using different types of anesthesia].
abstract: It was studied 238 patients after the reconstructive surgeries of atherosclerotic stenosing lesions of carotid arteries using different types of anesthesia. Neuropsychological testing included MMSE, the Frontal Assessment battery and the Clock drawing test. Regional anesthesia in the combination with reduced general anesthesia caused the less pronounced cognitive deficits in patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic stenoses. Inhalation anesthesia with sevofluorane led to the more pronounced cognitive impairment compared to total intravenous anesthesia with propofol. Ceraxon was used for the correction of cognitive impairments. This treatment increased the recovery of brain functions and quality of life of patients.
