Comparing brain monitor displays during anesthesia for seniors
This trial tests whether adding an extra visual display (density spectral array) to the standard brain monitor helps doctors better track anesthesia depth in older adults. It's designed for people 65+ having short surgeries with propofol and no muscle relaxants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are having an elective (planned) surgery lasting 1 to 3 hours.
- You will receive propofol and an opioid (narcotic) for anesthesia.
- A breathing tube will be placed in your throat (supraglottic airway).
- You can give your own consent to participate.

This study tests whether carefully monitoring how deep your anesthesia is during spinal surgery can help older adults recover better and think more clearly afterward.
This study tests whether training anesthesia providers to use EEG (brain-wave monitoring) helps them give better anesthesia. Part A trains doctors and nurse anesthetists; Part B watches how this training affects patient outcomes during surgery.
This study tests whether using special brain monitors during and after surgery can help older adults recover better after major abdominal surgery. It looks at how these monitors might reduce confusion or other problems after an operation.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring (a sensor-based brain activity recording) to fine-tune pain medicine during general anesthesia can help older adults recover their thinking and memory sooner after surgery. You may benefit from a plan aimed at reducing early “brain fog” after anesthesia.
This trial tests whether monitoring how deeply you sleep during anesthesia helps prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery. It is for older adults who can give consent and are having a major operation.
This trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
