NCT ID NCT07372417

Summary

This study aims to understand why older adults often require lower doses of anesthesia during major abdominal surgery compared to younger patients. Researchers will compare 60 younger and older patients, measuring brain activity, anesthesia levels, and blood markers of inflammation. The goal is to learn if age-related inflammation affects how the brain responds to anesthesia drugs.
