Summary

This observational study looks at whether age-related inflammation changes how much anesthesia older adults need during major abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare older patients (over 60) with younger adults (18-30) by monitoring brain activity, blood markers, and tissue samples. The goal is to understand why older patients often require less anesthesia and whether this affects recovery.
