NCT ID NCT07212543
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different low-flow rates of the anesthesia gas desflurane affect brain activity and thinking skills in adults having major abdominal surgery. Researchers will monitor brain waves during surgery and test memory and attention within 24 hours after the operation. The goal is to find out which low-flow strategy is safest for mental recovery.
