Asses the effect of the use of Patient State Index (PSI) monitoring on difference in emergence profiles in the elderly (age >65 yrs) population to develop a cost-benefit profile.
Assess differences in Quality of Life using the QoR-40 (a validated 40-item questionnaire on quality of recovery from anesthesia) between the two treatment groups.

Active Comparator: Active Monitoring with SEDLine Monitor
Patient group randomized to active monitoring with SEDLine monitor for titration of anesthesia.

Device: Sedline |
No Intervention: Blinded monitoring with SeEDLine Monitor
Patient group randomized to blinded monitoring with SEDLine monitor for titration of anesthesia. Data captured but not used for titration of anesthesia.
