View clinical trials related to Depth of Anesthesia.
Filter by:Frequently, neonates hospitalized in neonatology units require anesthesia for surgery. The drugs used for this purpose are opioids and other anesthetics, such as propofol. Currently, the administration of anesthesia is difficult in neonates due to the neurological immaturity of these patients, the scarcity of adequate pharmacological studies, the prolonged use of one or more sedatives prior to surgery and the limited usefulness of current anesthetic monitoring devices in this population. Electroencephalography (EEG), which has allowed estimation of anesthetic depth in other populations, has been less explored in neonates. To date, there are no EEG markers, correlated with a given dose of anesthesia, that allow an adequate administration in this kind of patients. In this context, a better understanding of the anesthetic effect in the neonatal brain would allow defining characteristic EEG patterns, improving the estimation of anesthetic depth and anesthetic dosage in neonates.
The aim of this study is to describe the BIS values and electroencephalographic patterns during total intravenous anesthesia with propofol-remifentanyl, in patients from 18 to 85 years.
As part of the clinical routine of the Department of Anesthesiology and Operative Intensive Care Medicine (CCM/CVK), Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin at Campus Virchow-Klinikum intraoperative electroencephalography data and clinical routine data are recorded and evaluated in surgical children (<=1 year).
Bispectral index (BIS), a standard monitor for perioperative monitor of patient's conscious level, is a noninvasive medical technique for monitoring and recording the electrical activity of brain.
As part of the clinical routine of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine CVK/CCM in the Charité - University Medicine Berlin intraoperative electroencephalography data and clinical routine data are recorded and evaluated in surgical children and adolescents according to different age groups.
