Abstract Objective To investigate the improvement of perioperative sleep quality and neurocognitive impairment in elderly patients under general anesthesia by nasal administration of dexmedetomidine. Methods One hundred and twenty patients admitted to our hospital for various laparoscopic elective gynecological surgeries lasting more than 1 h under general anesthesia from July 2021 to March 2023 were selected. All subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method. From 21:00 to 21:30 every night from one day before to 5 days after surgery, group A was given alprazolam 0.4 mg orally; group B was given dexmedetomidine 1.5ug/kg nasal drip; group C was given saline nasal drip. All subjects were observed for general information, sleep quality, postoperative cognitive function, anxiety status, sleep quality, adverse effects and complication occurrence. Results The difference in general information between the three groups was not statistically significant, P > 0.05; the sleep quality scores of the three groups on admission were not statistically significant, P > 0.05. At the Preoperative 1d, postoperative 1d, 3d and 5d, the RCSQ scores of the subjects in group A and group B were higher than those in groups C, and with the postoperative RCSQ scores of subjects in group B were higher as the time increased; the assessment of anxiety status in the three groups 1d before surgery was not statistically significant, P > 0.05. The cognitive function scores of subjects in the three groups were not statistically significant in the preoperative 1d, P > 0.05. The postoperative 1d (24.63 ± 2.23), 3d (25.83 ± 2.53), and 5d (26.15 ± 2.01) scores of the subjects in group B were higher than those in groups A and C (P 0.05). The scores in group B were lower than those in group C on the postoperative 1d, 3d, 5 d (P
