Following surgery, they will be randomised to one of two groups: Standard rehabilitation, with enforced …
Neurocognitive Disorders After Major Surgery in Elderly
The objective of the study is to investigate, in patients aged 70 years and over undergoing major non-cardiac surgery, the effect of electroencephalic (EEG)-guided anesthesia on postoperative neurocognitive disorders when controlling for intraoperative nociception, personalized blood pressure targets and using full information provided by the processed EEG monitor (including burst …
Trigger Point Injections in Anterior Cervical Surgery
