This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether using advanced monitoring during anesthesia — specifically a device called the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor — helps older adults have better recoveries after spine surgery. The researchers want to see if carefully tracking how deeply anesthetized you are during surgery can help prevent confusion and memory problems that sometimes happen after operations in people over 65. The study will compare three different monitoring approaches to find the safest way to manage anesthesia.
Older adults are at higher risk for confusion and thinking problems after surgery, which can be scary and take a long time to improve. Research suggests that carefully monitoring anesthesia depth during the operation might reduce these risks, but no one has yet compared the newest monitoring technologies to find out which works best for older patients.

You would be randomly assigned to one of three groups that use different methods to monitor your anesthesia during spine surgery — all groups receive anesthesia, but the doctors track it in different ways. During your surgery, doctors will use either blood pressure monitoring, a standard anesthesia depth monitor, or an advanced anesthesia depth monitor to guide how much medication you receive. After surgery, you would be assessed for recovery and thinking problems, though the exact number and timing of follow-up visits would be explained to you before you enroll.
