Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Compare the incidence of post operative cognitive decline in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with opioids and opoid free anesthesiaTimepoint: Post-operative delirium: immediately and 24 hours post operatively Post-operative cognitive dysfunction: 24-48 hours and 30 days post operatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine the association between opioids and frontal lobe hypoperfusion indicated by using nirs 2. To compare the incidence of post operative delirium 3.To determine the association between cerebral perfusion and incidence of post-operative cognitive dysfunction and delirium Timepoint: Post-operative delirium: immediately and 24 hours post operatively Post-operative cognitive dysfunction: 24-48 hours and 30 days post operatively NIRS monitoring: intra operatively every 10 minutes
