Study Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine if post-operative cognition will be better if the general anesthesia for surgery is done with an inhaled (gas through a breathing tube) or intravenous (medicine injected in the IV) general anesthetic technique.
Primary Outcome
Mean change on composite scores (z-score) for memory and executive function measures. Memory measures: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised and the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised. Executive function measures: the Trail Making Test (Army, 1944), Digit-symbol substitution and Symbol Search subtests of the Processing Speed Index of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III; Wechsler, 1997) and the Controlled Oral Word Association subtest of the Multilingual Aphasia Examination.
Interventions
- DRUG inhalation anesthesia with isoflurane vs. TIVA with propofol
