Trajectory of Recovery in the Elderly
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Functional magnetic resonance imaging for Delayed Emergence From Anesthesia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 104 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand how elderly individuals regain their cognitive skills following general anesthesia. The investigators will compare an age stratified group of volunteers who will be evaluated with a series of cognitive tests and a functional MRI. The participants will then be administered general anesthesia for two hours.
