Protocol for TIVA versus inhalational anaesthesia review leaves open optimal choice for elderly postoperative cognition and mortality; results needed before practice guidance.
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To compare maintenance of general anaesthesia for elderly surgical patients using total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) or inhalational anaesthesia on postoperative cognitive function, mortality, risk of hypotension, length of stay in the postanaesthetic care unit (PACU), and hospital stay.
