NCT ID NCT07302061
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how the type of anesthesia (general vs. spinal) and fluid levels during leg surgery affect thinking problems in people over 65. Researchers will monitor brain oxygen levels and fluid status during surgery, then test memory and thinking 24 and 48 hours later. The goal is to find ways to prevent confusion after surgery in older patients.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors choose anesthesia methods and monitor fluid levels to reduce confusion after surgery in older patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to clear recommendations, and results may not apply to all patients.
