Volume Optimisation and Cognitive Function in Major Abdominal Surgery
This trial tests whether using multiple monitors at once during major abdominal surgery — tracking blood flow, brain oxygen levels, and depth of anesthesia together — reduces cognitive decline after the operation. It is a Phase NA study, meaning it is a practical clinical protocol test rather than a standard drug-efficacy phase. Researchers want to know if this combined monitoring approach leads to better brain outcomes than standard care.

- ASA 2-3 patients,
- > 18 years
- signed written consent for anesthesia and study participation
- Major abdominal surgery (stomach and intestin resection)

You're excluded if
