Brief Summary

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

Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD), is a subtle decline in cognitive function characterized by impairment of memory and reduced ability to concentrate in elderly patients exposed to general anaesthesia. This prospective study aims to compare incidence and severity of POCD in two groups of patients. Group P receiving Intravenous Propofol and Inhalational anesthetic Sevoflurane. Group D receiving Intravenous Dexmedetomidine and Inhalational anesthetic Sevoflurane, Neuropsychological Test will be performed 24 hours before surgery and on postoperative day 3 and day 7.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The adult patients posted for major surgery under general anesthesia will be included in the study, patients will be allotted randomly to either Group P (Propofol) or Group D (Dexmedetomidine). In the Operation Room (OR) monitoring Electrocardiography (ECG), Pulse Oximetry (SPO2), Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), End tidal Carbon di oxide (ETCO2) and Bispectral Index (BIS) Covidien, will be attached to all patients. In both groups Anesthesia will be induced with Fentanyl 1mcg /kg-1, Morphine 0.1mg/kg-1, Propofol 1-1.5mg /kg1- and neuromuscular blocking agent Atracurium 0.5 mg/kg-1. Oral Cuffed Endotracheal Tube (ETT) will be placed in the trachea. Anaesthesia will be maintained controlled ventilation , intermittent fentanyl boluses 20 mcg and in Group P with medicated Air/Oxygen (O2) with Fractional Inspired Oxygen (FiO2 50%), Sevoflurane and Propofol Infusion to maintain BIS between 40-60. In Group D anesthesia will be maintained with Medicated Air/Oxygen (FiO2 50%), Sevoflurane and Dexmedetomidine infusion to maintain BIS between 40-60. Intraoperatively monitoring of vitals, BIS numerical value, Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) Value for Sevoflurane, Expired concentration of Sevoflurane and rate of infusion of Propofol/Dexmedetomidine will be noted every 30 minutes. Intraoperative decrease in Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) \< 60 mmHg, Heart rate (HR) \< 50, SPO2 \< 90 % will also be noted. At the end of surgery total dosage of Propofol/Dexmedetomidine and total amount of Sevoflurane consumed will be calculated. At the end of surgery neuromuscular blockade will be reversed. Total Duration of anesthesia will be noted. On emergence from anesthesia any episode of acute delirium will be recorded. Time from end of anesthesia to eye opening will be noted in both the groups. Neuropsychological Test consisting of Letter Digit Substitution Test, Trail Making Test Part A, Part B, Stroop Colour Word Test, Visual Verbal Learning Test will be performed 24 hours prior to surgery in the preanesthesia clinic and on postoperative day 3 and day 7.

Study Groups

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

Propofol/Sevoflurane (Group P)

Standard technique of induction of anaesthesia .

Maintenance of anesthesia with intravenous (IV) Propofol Infusion at rate 100-150 mcg/kilogram/hour and Inhalational Anesthetic Sevoflurane during the surgery. Intervention is to titrate dosage of Propofol and Sevoflurane to maintain Bispectral Index between 40-60.

Total dosage of IV Propofol and Sevoflurane uptake will be calculated at the end of surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Maintainance of anesthesia with Intravenous Propofol infusion

Intervention Type DRUG

The dosage of Intravenous Propofol will be titrated to maintain BIS Values between 40 -60.

Dexmedetomidine/Sevoflurane (Group D)

Standard technique of induction of anaesthesia .

Maintenance of anesthesia with intravenous Dexmedetomidine Infusion at rate 1- 4 mcg/kilogram/hour and Inhalational Anesthetic Sevoflurane during the surgery.

Intervention is to titrate dosage of Dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane to maintain Bispectral Index between 40 - 60.

Total dosage of IV Dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane uptake will be calculated at the end of surgery.
