NCT ID: NCT00908518 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Cognitive Dysfunction

The Difference in Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and Myocardial Ischemia Between Propofol and Isoflurane

POCD
Start date: June 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The progressive aging of the general population cause increase in number of extensive and long surgeries in older patients. Age is a risk factor for perioperative myocardial ischemia and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) The suggested study will deal with the above-mentioned complication in patients older then 65 years undergoing major non-cardiac surgeries. It has been shown that Isoflurane and sevoflurane may have a cardio-protective effect after cardiac surgery involving cardio-pulmonary bypass, and it was recommended that isoflurane should be used in these cases. A question was raised but haven't been answered yet, whether this cardio-protective effect exists also in non-cardiac major surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a difference in the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and perioperative myocardial ischemia between total intravenous anesthesia using propofol and isoflurane based anesthesia.
