Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: 600 patients (\> 60years ) fulfilling the criteria of the American society of anesthesiologists and II status were selected for this prospective single-blinded randomized controlled study. Patients were randomized into one of four groups to receive regional anesthesia (control group), general anesthesia with sevoflurane, general anesthesia with isoflurane and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol.
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), olfactory threshold, and olfactory identification were tested at 12 hours preoperatively (T0), at 3 hours postoperatively (T1) and at the time of discharge or postoperative 3 days (T2). In addition, serum melatonin levels were estimated at T0 and T1.
N-butyl alcohol was used to test the olfactory threshold and the Pocket Smell Test TM series (PSTs) was used to test olfactory identification. Data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney tests.
