Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for patients aged 18 and older who are scheduled for non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 60 minutes. Participants will receive one of two types of general anesthesia and share their recovery experiences.

Answer a few quick questions to see if you may meet the eligibility requirements.
The investigators will conduct a 13,000-patient randomized multi-center trial to determine (i) which general anesthesia technique yields superior patient recovery experiences in any of three surgical categories ((a) major inpatient surgery, (b) minor inpatient surgery, (c) outpatient surgery) and (ii) whether TIVA confers no more than a small (0.2 %) increased risk of intraoperative awareness than…
