Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- We will include older adult patients (65 years or older) presenting for non-cardiac non-neurologic surgery under general anesthesia at Vancouver General Hospital with a minimum two-night stay in hospital.
Exclusion
- We will exclude patients undergoing procedures involving the major vasculature of the head and neck, as well as patients who are predicted to require postoperative ventilation or planned tracheostomy. Patients who are not able to read or speak English will be excluded, as well as patients with significant hearing or visual impairment that would make assessment unreliable. In order to complete the mNIHSS accurately, we will exclude patients with significant cognitive impairment suggestive of dementia (MoCA score 17 or less) or a diagnosis of dementia.
