Summary
This research study is being done to determine if monitoring brain wave activity while under
general anesthesia will reduce the likelihood of post-operative cognitive disorder in
patients over 60 years old. About half of the patients in the study will potentially have
anesthesia levels adjusted based on brain wave monitoring during surgery, and the other half
will not have anesthesia levels adjusted at all based on brain wave monitoring.
