Abstract
Evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis may be linked to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) following general anaesthesia.
- Gut dysbiosis and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis are associated with POCD.
- Ulinastatin has been noted for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
- The impact of ulinastatin on the gut microbiome and related metabolites in the context of POCD is not yet understood.
