Would you be able to stay in the hospital with him so as to limit his confusion and see that he doesn't try to get out of bed? These are main problems in the hospital and often worsen the physical situation. You would also be able to help him eat and drink properly

Yes it can. In my mother's case she had an anaesthetic whilst in early onset. She went into hospital as one person and came out as someone else. A year later following fairly rapid deterioration of the dementia she had to have another anaesthetic but this time the effect wasn't so dramatic but there was definitely additional confusion which hasn't gone away. Hope this helpsCan anybody tell me if anaesthetics can make the alzheimers worse and if so how long will it last. Thank you.
