A thermal image of an ETS patient 2 years after surgery. Other long-term adverse effects include: Ultrastructural changes in the cerebral artery wall induced by long-term sympathetic denervation; Sympathectomy eliminates the psychogalvanic reflex
Postanesthetic shivering is one of the leading causes of discomfort in patients recovering from general anesthesia. It usually results due to the anesthetic inhibiting the body's thermoregulatory capability, although cutaneous vasodilation (triggered by post-operative pain) may also be a

Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment ( PCCI) (also known in the scientific community as " CRCIs or Chemotherapy-Related Cognitive Impairments " and in lay terms as chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction or impairment, chemo brain, or chemo fog) describes the cognitive impairment that can result from chemotherapy treatment.
Vomiting has been associated with major complications, such as pulmonary aspiration of gastric content, and might endanger surgical outcomes after certain procedures, for example after maxillofacial surgery with wired jaws.
Adverse neurological effects occur after CABG in about 1.5% of patients. They can manifest as type-1 deficits—focal deficits such as stroke or coma—or type-2 global deficits such as delirium caused by CPB, hypoperfusion, or cerebral embolism.
