Conditions

postoperative pain and postoperative neurocognitive disorders

Interventions

Control group : Mild Analgesia Group(PTi=65±5):Following successful induction of anesthesia, a remifentanil infusion was initiated at 0.15 µg/kg/min. The infusion rate was then titrated in increments
Intervention Group: Deep Analgesia Group (PTi=50±5):Following successful induction of anesthesia, a remifentanil infusion was initiated and titrated to achieve a target Pain Threshold Index (PTi) of 5
