Monitoring anesthesia depth to improve recovery in older surgical patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
