Postoperative Cognitive Disturbances

Brief summary

This study investigates whether general anesthesia using a Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) -model-based index indicating the compound effect of different anesthetics leads to optimized outcome compared to manually controlled clinical anesthesia and computerized Electroencephalogram (EEG).
