Join us as we sit down with Dr. Catherine Crenshaw, Neuropsychologist and the Director of the Perioperative Cognitive Anesthesia Network (PeCAN) at the University of Florida, for another targeted discussion related to Parkinson’s Disease. Dr. Crenshaw conducts imperative work as it relates to cognitive changes for older adults who have elected surgery with anesthesia. Listen as Dr. Crenshaw clearly describes the gaps in care and ultimately a clear plan for including the brain as a vital organ pre and post surgery by utilizing cognitive assessments to ensure the best surgical outcomes and ultimately mitigate cognitive impairments following surgery.
