| Main Objective: Main objective : There is a null hypothesis for the main outcome measure. It is anticipated that there will be no difference in the percentage change of mean arterial pressure (MAP) relative to baseline between elderly patients receiving co-induction of anaesthesia with propofol and sevoflurane (Group P+S), and elderly patients receiving induction with sevoflurane alone (Group S). ; Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives :To investigate whether there are any differences in elderly patients' perceptions of induction between Group P+S and Group S.To investigate whether there are any differences in the duration of the induction process between Group P+S and Group S. (Time to dropping weight and time to insertion of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA)).To investigate whether there are any differences in induction events between Group P+S and Group S. i.e. coughing, breath-holding, laryngospasm, movement of limb or excessive salivation. Graded as mild, moderate, severe [6].To investigate whether there are any differences in percentage change in cardiac output relative to baseline between Group P+S and Group S, measured by non-invasive trans-sternal Doppler. ;Primary end point(s): Percentage change of mean arterial pressure (MAP) relative to baseline. | — |
