Spine surgery showdown: which anesthetic keeps your mind sharpest?

NCT ID NCT07378878

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 20 adults having spine surgery to compare two common anesthetics—sevoflurane and propofol—and their effect on thinking and memory afterward. Participants took a simple mental test before surgery and again at several points after. The goal was to see which drug might lead to less postoperative confusion, helping doctors choose safer anesthesia for spine procedures.
