NCT ID NCT07486336
First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tests whether staying awake during abdominal surgery (using spinal anesthesia and light sedation) is better than general anesthesia for frail patients over 60. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and might reduce confusion or memory problems after surgery. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia methods and followed for a year.
