Links to Anaesthetics and Dementia

Less than one minute read time.

My Mother was under anaesthetic 3 for nearly 15 hours for the first week and a half post op she seemed fine but then she started saying some really strange things and she was fine before the operation.  It has now been over 3 weeks and she seems to of got worse instead of better.  She thinks the nurses are trying to kill her she is seeing water pouring through the ceiling she says someone is coming to slit her throat and thats just some of it.  I was hoping someone could help me with some information http://alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/news_article.php?newsID=7  Please let me know your experience and thoughts

    Has your mum's medications been changed? My mum had halucinations and said some very strange things but it was a reaction to the medications she had been prescribed. Once the meds were changed she was back to normal.
