Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious postoperative complication, which is significantly correlated with poor prognosis such as prolonged hospital stay and increased rate of readmission. POD is the result of multiple factors, and intervention targeting at its risk factors can significantly reduce the incidence of POD. At present, POD prevention tends to be multidisciplinary and cluster-oriented, aiming at forming a process-oriented, whole-perioperative assessment and intervention path. However, at present, there are few studies on POD peri-anesthetic period intervention, and there are many controversies. All guidelines and expert consensus are also blank in this part, and further studies are needed to fill the gaps. This paper discusses the current prevention strategies for POD during peri-anesthetic period, guiding future studies and further improving the intervention strategies for POD during peri- anesthetic period, so as to reduce the occurrence of POD.
