We frequently encounter cognitive impairments in patients over 65 undergoing Lower extremity surgery, depending on comorbidities and the choice of anesthesia method. The current development of neuraxial anesthesia techniques and close monitoring devices helps us prevent and detect cognitive impairment early in these patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different anesthesia techniques (general anesthesia/spinal anesthesia) applied in orthopedic cases on patient fluid status (pleth variablity index) and regional cerebral oxygenation (NIRS), and their relationship with cognitive dysfunction.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
60
Goztepe training and research hospital
Istanbul, Kadikoy, Turkey (Türkiye)
Early postoperative period (24th and 48th hours) cognitive dysfunction rate
We will assess postoperative cognitive dysfunction.Cognitive function will be evaluated using the MOCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) at 24 and 48 hours after surgery.
Time frame: Up to 48 hours after operation
Pleth Variability Index (PVI, %) to assess intraoperative fluid status
PVI values will be continuously recorded using non-invasive monitor.
Time frame: During Surgery
