Brief description Millions of high-risk patients have general anaesthesia for major surgery worldwide every year, but the optimal depth of anaesthesia for these patients is not known. The aim of this large randomised trial is to determine the impact of light versus deep general anaesthesia on survival at one year postoperatively in 6,500 older patients. If light anaesthesia is associated with better survival, this result will be immediately implementable, will save lives and will reduce the costs of care.
