Summary
In this study, the patients undergoing pituitary surgery in our clinic have examined in two groups. In the first group, anesthesia maintenance was provided with remifentanil and propofol infusion. In the second group, anesthesia maintenance was provided with dexmedetomidine and propofol infusion. Demographic data, vital signs during the operation, wake-up time, extubation time, and drug consumption amounts were recorded. The mini-mental test was applied preoperatively, 24 hours postoperatively, and 3 weeks postoperatively to examine whether there is a difference in cognitive dysfunction between the two groups.
