First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study compares two common anesthetics—propofol and sevoflurane—to see which one causes less confusion (delirium) after surgery in older adults with diabetes. Researchers will enroll 450 patients aged 60 and older undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to find the best anesthesia approach to improve recovery and reduce risks for this vulnerable group.
