Research Abstract

To clarify the neurochemical basis for postoperative delirium, the changes of acetylcholine release in rat cerebral cortex by the painful stimulation during general anesthesia and by the sedation were studied using brain microdialysis. The acetylcholine release was significantly affected by widely-used inhalational anesthetics and sedatives. The results of this study suggest that the occurrence of post-operative delirium is related to the changes in cholinergic neuronal activities in the brain.
