Conox-Guided Anesthesia in Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy

概要

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Conox (qCON/qNOX)-guided anesthesia on intraoperative anesthetic drug consumption and postoperative outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Conox is a non-invasive EEG-based monitoring system that provides indices of both hypnosis and nociception. In this randomized controlled trial, children aged 3-12 years will be assigned to either a Conox-guided anesthesia group or a standard monitoring group. The primary outcome of the study is total intraoperative opioid consumption, assessed from anesthesia induction to the end of surgery. Secondary outcomes include emergence time, extubation time, postoperative agitation, pain scores, and correlation between qCON/qNOX values and hemodynamic parameters.
