This study will be conducted on patients aged 65 and older scheduled for surgery due to lumbar or cervical disc herniation. General anesthesia is routinely used for these types of surgeries in the hospital. In patients receiving general anesthesia, anesthesia depth monitoring is performed.
As part of the study, a preoperative anesthesia evaluation will be conducted, which will include age, weight, height, comorbidities, regularly used medications, previous surgical or anesthesia experiences, nutritional habits, mental status, and daily activity levels.
On the day of surgery, upon arrival in the operating room, the following will be measured and recorded:
All monitoring procedures are non-invasive and painless. Following the placement of these monitoring devices and initial measurements, anesthesia induction and surgery will commence. Throughout surgery, blood pressure, heart rate, and brain activity will be continuously recorded. After the surgical procedure, anesthesia emergence and mental status will be assessed. Preoperative evaluation data and intraoperative recordings will be used solely for research purposes, with patient identity information remaining confidential.
Perioperative cognitive decline and delirium occur more frequently in the geriatric population undergoing surgery. International guidelines recommend monitoring anesthesia depth to reduce the risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Anesthesia depth is commonly measured using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG)-based methods, such as the Bispectral Index (BIS).
Previous studies have predominantly utilized processed EEG monitors that generate numerical values for tracking anesthesia depth. However, in this study, anesthesia depth will be monitored using both the standard numerical BIS index and the Density Spectral Array (DSA) mode, an advanced feature of the BIS device. To date, no studies have simultaneously examined BIS and DSA modes in relation to cognitive function and the recovery process.
The use of advanced monitoring techniques may serve as a valuable resource for future research, particularly in optimizing anesthetic management for geriatric patients with reduced cognitive reserve. This study aims to evaluate the effects of different intraoperative anesthesia depth monitoring approaches, including hemodynamic monitoring, numerical BIS values, and DSA functions. The primary objective is to determine the optimal anesthesia monitoring strategy that minimizes intraoperative hypotension, burst suppression, and postoperative delirium.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemodynamic-Guided Group | Active Comparator | Anesthesia depth monitoring will be managed according to hemodynamic parameters, primarily avoiding hypotension. |
|
| BIS-Guided Group | Active Comparator | Anaesthesia depth monitoring according to numeric BIS index values |
|
| DSA-Guided Group | Active Comparator | Anesthesia depth monitoring using the Density Spectral Array (DSA) function of the BIS monitor. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control Group: Standard Hemodynamic Monitoring | Other | Anesthesia depth monitoring based on hemodynamic values without additional processed EEG guidance. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Ratio of Burst Suppression | The burst suppression ratio (BSR) will be calculated as the percentage of total anesthesia time spent in burst suppression, as measured by processed electroencephalography (EEG). A higher BSR has been associated with worse postoperative cognitive outcomes. | Intraoperative (continuously recorded from anesthesia induction to emergence) |
| Time of Burst Suppression | Anesthesia time spent in burst suppression (BS), as measured by processed electroencephalography (EEG). A higher BS time has been associated with worse postoperative cognitive outcomes. | Intraoperative (continuously recorded from anesthesia induction to emergence) |
| Intraoperative Hypotension Incidence | Intraoperative hypotension will be measured in 5-minute intervals. Hypotension is a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60 mmHg. The episodes of hypotension at any point during surgery will be recorded. | Intraoperative (assessed continuously throughout surgery) |
| Alpha Band Preservation or Loss | Alpha band activity (8-12 Hz) in the frontal lobe will be evaluated to determine whether it is preserved or lost during general anesthesia. Alpha band preservation is associated with optimal anesthesia depth and cognitive function preservation, while loss of alpha band activity is linked to increased postoperative cognitive impairment. | Intraoperative (measured continuously from anesthesia induction to emergence) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Postoperative Delirium Assessed via CAM Scale | Postoperative delirium will be assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) tool. The number of participants meeting the criteria for delirium within the first 48 hours postoperatively will be recorded. | Postoperative (assessed at 6, 24, and 48 hours after surgery) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Frailty Score Assessed via Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) | Frailty will be assessed preoperatively using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), which ranges from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill). Higher scores indicate worse frailty status. The proportion of participants classified as frail (CFS ≥ 5) will be reported. | Preoperative (assessed on the day of surgery) |
