Could your brain waves during surgery predict memory loss?
NCT ID NCT04189861
Summary
This study investigated whether monitoring brain wave activity during general anesthesia could help predict which older patients might experience memory and thinking problems after surgery. Researchers followed 31 adults over age 60 who had elective surgery, tracking their brain waves during the procedure and testing their memory before and after surgery. The goal was to understand if specific brain wave patterns during anesthesia are linked to post-surgery cognitive issues.
