Study probes which anesthesia protects aging brains during surgery
NCT ID NCT06353516
Summary
This study aimed to understand if the type of anesthesia used during surgery affects brain health in older patients. Researchers compared two common methods—intravenous (IV) drugs and inhaled gases—to see if one better protects the brain's protective barrier and reduces inflammation linked to post-surgery confusion. They measured blood markers and tracked thinking skills in 154 patients aged 60 and older for up to three months after their operations.
