Scientific titleSevoflurane inhalational introduction in the elderly: a comparison with intravenous induction
Study objectivesThe aim of the study is to compare the effects of an inhalational induction of anaesthesia with sevoflurane with an intravenous induction in elderly patients. In particular, we will assess the effects on cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood pressure), and cerebral blood flow velocity. We hypothesise that compared with an intravenous induction an inhalational induction will be more stable.
