The Effect of Anesthesia Type on Pulmonary Function

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Anesthesia; Geriatric Patients
• Interventions: Procedure: General anesthesia; Procedure: Neuraxial anesthesia; Diagnostic Test: Spirometer

• Registration Number: NCT03399201
• Lead Sponsor: Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University

Brief Summary

The role of neuraxial anesthesia in preventing respiratory complications is a controversial in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of neuraxial anesthesia on pulmonary function during post-operative term in geriatric patients undergoing to elective non-abdominal surgery.

Detailed Description

Sixty elder patients will be randomly assigned to General anesthesia or Neuraxial anesthesia groups. Spirometry, will be performed at pre-operative and post-operative terms. Pulmonary function tests will be evaluated.
