OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: up to 4 hours

Return to baseline Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) score after general anesthesia, measured at 30, 60, and 120 minutes following extubation. Testing is discontinued when the patient returns to their baseline pre-surgery MMSE score. A faster return to baseline represents a better outcome.
