Summary
The use of desflurane in elderly subjects (\>65 years old) undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation will result in decreased POCD compared to sevoflurane if the patient's MAP is within 20% of the patient's baseline and the cerebral suppression state index stays within the moderately anesthetized range during general anesthesia.
