The state of cognitive function in 52 patients (45 women and 7 men) with thyrotoxicosis was studied in the pre- and postoperative period, operated on under general anesthesia. The age of the patients varied from 37 to 53 years. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction was detected in 38 patients, which is 73%. Of the 38 patients with POCD, 32 were patients with hypocalcemia, which is 84.2%. This study confirms the severe course and high prevalence of cognitive dysfunction in the postoperative period under general anesthesia after surgery in patients with thyrotoxicosis with hypocalcemia.
