Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of different injection rates of propofol on postoperative cognition in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Methods: A total of 180 elderly patients who planned to undergo laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair were randomly divided into three groups: slow injection of propofol (V S -Group, 30 mg kg − 1 h − 1 ); medium injection of propofol (V M -Group, 100 mg kg − 1 h − 1 ) or fast injection of propofol (V F -Group, 300 mg kg − 1 h − 1 ). Propofol was induced by microinfusion pump, and the depth of anesthesia was monitored by bispectral index (BIS). Propofol and remifentanil were continuously infused during anesthesia maintenance and adjusted according to BIS. The primary outcome was the use of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to measure the incidence of postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) in elderly patients on the first and seventh postoperative day. Secondary outcomes included induced dose of propofol, incidence of burst suppression and maximum electroencephalographic (EEG) effect of propofol (BIS-min) during induction. Results: The incidence of POCD on the first and seventh day postoperatively was similar among the three groups (P > 0.05). However, with the increase of propofol injection rate, induced dose of propofol, incidence of burst suppression and BIS-min during induction, the number of patients requiring vasoactive agents were significantly increased ( P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the brief duration of burst suppression during induction did not affect the occurrence of POCD, while age and duration of hospitalization were risk factors for POCD. Conclusion: For elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, lowering the injection rate of propofol (such as 30 mg kg − 1 h − 1 ) cannot decrease the incidence of early POCD, but reduces induction dose of propofol and use of vasoactive drugs, making the patient’s hemodynamics more stable.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
