IMPACT OF FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE PATIENTS OF ELDERLY AND SENILE AGE ON THE FREQUENCY OF INTRA-SURGERY CRITICAL INCIDENTS

Abstract

The correlation between the age and wakefulness level evaluated as per the value of constant potential and frequency of critical incidence occurrence has been investigated in 160 patients who had planned surgery with combined anesthesia due to the colon tumor. The latter depended on the age, it was the lowest in the high level of wakefulness and it was high in the low level of wakefulness regardless of the age.
