PY - 2017 T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Neurologic and psychiatric complications are often encountered in the postoperative period and may be very alarming. Hospitalists must be able to recognize and initiate treatment for many of these postoperative complications. The differential diagnosis of common problems (such as headache) may also be very different in the perioperative period. This chapter will cover common presentations, risk factors and prevention techniques, and management of several postoperative neurologic and psychiatric conditions, including: seizures, delirium, confusion, delayed emergence, muscle weakness by anesthetic drugs, stroke, blindness, awareness under anesthesia, cognitive dysfunction, headache, spinal cord injury, and peripheral nerve injury.
