Brief summary

Aim of the study is to diagnose and compare the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after two commonly used types of general anesthesia – inhalational and intravenous - in the healthy middle age population. Combination of standardized psychometric tests and electophysiological examination will be used for detection of cognitive disorder at different time intervals after the operation.

Interventions

Total intravenous anesthesia - maintained by propofol infusion according to Roberts dosing scheme, adjusted by Bispectral index. Sufentanil (approx. 0,3 mcg/kg) will be used as analgetic component and rocuronium (0,6 mg/kg) for muscle relaxation. Mixture of air and oxygen for ventilation. Approx. duration of anesthesia 60 min.
