Impact of Desflurane Versus Sevoflurane Anesthesia Maintenance Methods on Incidence of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Advanced age is a consistent risk factor for the incidence of postoperative cognitive decline, which is associated with longer hospital stays, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. Anaesthetic drugs can also affect postoperative cognition, as their residual effects can alter central nervous system activity. Desflurane and sevoflurane are widely used volatile anesthetics. Choice anesthetics may influence the occurrence of postoperative delirium. However, evidence in this aspect is conflicting.

Treatments
Active_comparator: Sevoflurane group
Sevoflurane will be administered by inhalation for anesthesia maintenance. The concentration of inhaled sevoflurane will be adjusted to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) value between 40 and 60. Analgesia will be supplemented with remifentanil, sufentanil. Sevoflurane inhalation will be stopped at the end of surgery.
Experimental: Desflurane group
Desflurane will be administered by inhalation for anesthesia maintenance. The concentration of inhaled sevoflurane will be adjusted to maintain the BIS value between 40 and 60. Analgesia will be supplemented with remifentanil, sufentanil. Desflurane inhalation will be stopped at the end of surgery.
