Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn the how to determine the mean arterial pressure(MAP) or blood pressure level to be maintained during non-cardiac surgery for optimal brain health in patients above the age of 60 undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is there a way to tailor the blood pressure to be maintained in such patients during surgery for optimal brain health using non-invasive monitors that check the brains electrical activity, the electroencephalogram(EEG) monitor, and the brain's blood oxygen levels, the cerebral oximetry(CO) monitor? * How much does this optimal blood pressure level vary between patients? Participants will be asked to: * Complete a questionnaire at the time they enroll into the study, as well as a daily questionnaire to help determine their level of thinking and brain health. This questionnaire will be administered by a member of the study team. * They will also have an EEG and CO monitoring sticker placed on their foreheads. This will be connected to a monitor that will collect this data just before, during, and after their surgery. The data collected through these monitors will help us with our study goals.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Age ≥ 60 years
- Undergoing any non-cardiac surgeries including but not limited to vascular, hepatobiliary, or complex spine surgeries requiring general anesthesia with arterial catheterization for monitoring
Exclusion Criteria5
- Non-English speaking (Justification: cognitive assessment instruments are not validated in a sufficient range of languages, and the research team lacks polylingual capabilities or the financial resources to hire interpreters for the duration of all proposed assessments.)
- Cognitive impairment as defined by total MoCA score \< 10 (justification: baseline cognitive dysfunction will confound primary outcome measure)
- Significant visual impairment (justification: will be difficult for patients to draw individual components in MOCA score)
- Emergent surgery (justification: insufficient time to initiate intervention)
- History of stroke within the last 3 months (justification: cognitive dysfunction secondary to stroke can confound outcome measures

Interventions
Intra-op EEG and CO data will be collected non-invasively. This will not guide or affect patient care of procedure in any way.
