Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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.

The intervention will be Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE)

Intervention Type OTHER

A questionnaire given to the study patient before and after the anesthetic at 1, 6 and 24 hours.
