Recovery from long surgery with a patient with dementia?

A family member is having a long surgery, 6 to 8 hours, for bladder cancer and she has dementia. Is there something we can do post-op that will hasten the removal of the anesthesia from her system as she regresses and then it takes a long time to remove it from her system?

Hi, just a comment to please stay with your loved one as much as possible while in the hospital, especially after surgery. It is very disorienting for someone with AD and having a familiar face nearby really helps their recovery. I know, this just isn't easy. All the best to you and to her.
