Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The changes on peak expiratory flow (PEF)
Time Frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) will be measured by the spirometer
The changes on forced expiratory volume in 1 s
Time Frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
Forced expiratory volume in 1 s will be measured via spirometer
The changes on forced vital capacity
Time Frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
Forced vital capacity will be measured via spirometer
The changes on mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75)
Time Frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours
mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75) will be measured via spirometer
