What this trial studies
This study focuses on patients aged 65 and older who are scheduled for elective spinal surgeries. It aims to evaluate the effects of different anesthesia depth monitoring techniques, specifically comparing the standard Bispectral Index (BIS) and the advanced Density Spectral Array (DSA) mode. The study will involve preoperative evaluations and non-invasive monitoring of vital signs and anesthesia depth during surgery. The goal is to determine the optimal monitoring strategy that minimizes postoperative cognitive dysfunction and delirium.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 65 and older scheduled for elective spinal surgeries with ASA status I-III.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing emergent surgeries or those with severe comorbidities (ASA status IV-V) may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved postoperative recovery and cognitive outcomes for geriatric patients undergoing surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown the importance of anesthesia depth monitoring in reducing postoperative cognitive dysfunction, but this specific approach using both BIS and DSA modes is novel.
