Summary
Brief summary
The study is a substudy of the Enigma2 trial (NCT00430989) which aims at investigating the effectiveness and safety of nitrous oxide (N2O) in anaesthesia.The substudy focus is on postoperative cognitive disorders.

Substudy Hypothesis: In patients undergoing anaesthesia for major surgery, administration of N2O will reduce postoperative cognitive disorders when compared with otherwise identically managed surgical patients not receiving N2O as a component of their anaesthesia.
