POCD in Elderly Patients Following Desflurane or Sevoflurane General Anesthesia

September 8, 2014 updated by: Richard Applegate, Loma Linda University

Incidence of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Elderly Patients Following Desflurane or Sevoflurane General Anesthesia: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

The use of desflurane in elderly subjects (>65 years old) undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation will result in decreased POCD compared to sevoflurane if the patient's MAP is within 20% of the patient's baseline and the cerebral suppression state index stays within the moderately anesthetized range during general anesthesia.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
desflurane and sevoflurane
Subjects will be randomized to either desflurane or sevoflurane. They will be given the Mini Mental State exam at 1, 6 and 24 hours after the end of anesthesia.
Other: The intervention will be Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE)
A questionnaire given to the study patient before and after the anesthetic at 1, 6 and 24 hours.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
POCD in Elderly Patients Following Desflurane or Sevoflurane General Anesthesia
Time Frame: Both groups will complete the MMSE at 1, 6, and 24 hours after the end of anesthesia or to disharge up to 7 days.
The primary outcome measure will be changes in cognitive function after anesthesia as measured by MMSE.
Both groups will complete the MMSE at 1, 6, and 24 hours after the end of anesthesia or to disharge up to 7 days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Secondary outcome measures will include: 1) time to extubation, anesthetic complications (e.g. coughing during extubation), 2) time to readiness for discharge from PACU, 3) length of hospital stay, and 4) any postoperative complications.
Time Frame: 24 hours to 7 days
24 hours to 7 days
