Clinical Trial Summary

Intraoperative hypotension is common in patients having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia and is associated with major postoperative complications including myocardial injury, AKI, and death. Intraoperative hypotension is also common in patients having vascular surgery. To treat intraoperative hypotension, vasopressors - such as norepinephrine - and fluids are used. However, high-dose vasopressor and excessive fluid therapy are also associated with postoperative complications. The depth of general anesthesia may be a modifiable cause of intraoperative hypotension. Deep levels of general anesthesia may cause cardiovascular depression with intraoperative hypotension and higher vasopressor requirements. Optimal depth of general anesthesia is defined as a state in which the patient is at low risk of recall of intraoperative events while maintaining blood pressure stability with minimal intervention. Depth of anesthesia can be confirmed using clinical signs, the concentration of inhaled or intravenous anesthetics, or neuromonitoring such as processed electroencephalography (pEEG). pEEG presents an opportunity to monitor changes in human brain electrical activity and to help estimating the patients' level of (un)consciousness and the optimal depth of anesthesia. EEG-guided general anesthesia may thus decrease norepinephrine doses needed to treat intraoperative hypotension in patients having surgery.
