Summary

This study will test whether adding a special brain wave display (DSA) to the standard monitor (BIS) helps doctors better detect when older patients wake up from anesthesia. Researchers will observe 70 adults aged 65 and older during planned surgeries. The goal is to improve patient safety and reduce the risk of being aware during surgery.
