Filter by:The shortage of anesthetic agents can lead to intraoperative awareness while overdosing can trigger severe intra and postoperative problems. Therefore, monitoring anesthesia's depth (DoA: Depth of Anesthesia) is a crucial but still challenging task. Although some commercial monitors are based on electroencephalogram (EEG), designed to quantify DoA, their use in clinical practice has limitations. On the other hand, heart rate variability (HRV) has valuable information about physiological states, both from the heart and the organism. Classical indices derived from HRV have been shown to be able to differentiate the different stages of anesthesia. In this study, it is proposed to create a model to monitor DoA combining several HRV indices. Patients will be divided into three groups, according to the type of anesthesia to which they will be submitted (inhalation, total or balanced intravenous) and will have the electrocardiogram recorded during the entire surgical procedure. Various HRV indices will be calculated, and machine learning techniques will be used to combine and identify the most relevant index to compose a score that reliably represents DoA. Several commercial devices have been developed to monitor the level of consciousness during anesthesia. Among the most popular tools are included: Narcotrend TM (MonitorTechnik, Bad Bramstedt, Germany); the M-Entropy TM (GE Healthcare, Helsinki, Finland); Nindex SA (Controls, Montevideo, Uruguay) and the Bi-Spectral Index (BIS, TM Medtronic-Covidien, Dublin, Ireland). In this study, BIS or Nindex will also be monitored during the entire period that the patients remain anesthetized and will later be used to compose the DoA score based on HRV. As a result, a computer program will be created to monitor DoA in real-time.
The aim of the study is to determine the psychometric properties of Perioperative Satisfaction Scale in Regional Anesthesia. In the Turkish version of the scale, a blind reverse translation method will use. And validity and reliability analyses will conduct.
Sevoflurane based inhalational anaesthesia is the preferred mode of anesthesia for small duration cases. But in recent times, concept of rapid discharge, day care procedures, and green environment has created the need of new modalities of anaesthesia for such cases. Considering such factor, investigators have planned using TIVA i.e. total intravenous anaesthesia with Inj. Propofol and Inj. Dexmedetomidine infusions for maintenance of anesthesia in Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). By comparing the two modalities of anaesthesia i.e. TIVA vs Inhalational investigators are trying to find out whether TIVA is feasible, cost effective and comparable to inhalational anaesthesia in terms of intraoperative hemodynamic stability, pain, intraoperative awareness and recovery profile. This comparison and analysis will help to determine if TIVA can be used as the sole mode of anaesthesia during MRM as it will initiate early discharge of patient and will contribute to the Green OT concept.
Closed-loop infusion system for target controlled infusion of propofol by using TCI pump designed by BD Technology. (Germany) guided with entropy and surgical pleth index (GE) will not only prevent awareness from Anesthesia but also optimise the dose anesthetic agents based on feedback from adequacy of Anesthesia monitoring. Which not only reduces Anesthesia agents but also enhances recovery from Anesthesia. Innovation using TCI combined with closed-loop controlled intravenous anesthesia under the guide of Entropy.In this study we performed a randomized, controlled, study to compare closed-loop control and open-loop control of propofol by using the Entropy and SPI guided closed-loop infusion system.
The study evaluates the general anesthesia management with BIS monitorization in terms of hemodynamic stability, drug concentrations and drug consumption in patients who underwent surgery due to intracranial pathology and who were divided in three different GCS groups.
ConsCIOUS-2 is a multi-site study exploring the cognitive state of the Isolated Forearm Test (IFT) responder while under anesthetic.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether spatiotemporal characteristics of multisensory evoked potentials can be used as a marker of consciousness (awareness) under anesthesia. The secondary aim is to characterize changes in the characteristics of evoked potentials under anesthesia in both single sensory modality (visual, auditory) and across sensory modalities.
This study compares manual total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and target-controll infusion (TCI) in reduction of awareness and dreaming, and the haemodynamical stability during operation. Half of patients will be anesthetized using manual TIVA and other half using TCI.
Obesity is a chronic disease that affects quality and duration of life negatively. It's not clearly known the effects of low flow anesthesia on cerebral oxygenation with high-risk morbidly obese patients. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of general anesthesia with low flow (0,75 L/min) and normal flow (1,5 L/min) on cerebral oxygenation and depth of anesthesia in morbidly obese patients in bariatric surgery.
This study evaluated the effects of preoperative anxiety and dosage of anesthesia on IVF success. Half of participants according to the recorded Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) score: a low-anxiety group, while the other half high-anxiety group.
