Study summary

The purpose of this study is to prove the correlation between the post-operative delirium (POD) and anesthetic agents. The investigators hypothesized that intravenous anaesthetics would show the lower incidence of POD, compared with inhalation anaesthetics in off-pump CABG.

Read the detailed description
