Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine if Nociception Level (NOL)-guided Remifentanil analgesia, combined with Entropy-guided Propofol anesthesia, has a significant beneficial effect on the incidence of intraoperative hypotension episodes and/or on vasopressor requirements, during long-lasting major surgeries for high risk patients. The investigator will also investigate the effects of guided anesthesia on postoperative Myocardial Injury in Non-cardiac Surgery (MINS) and Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), amongst other frequent postoperative complications, in this population.
