Incidence of Intraoperative Awareness in Indian Patient Population

Resumo breve

The profiling of bi-spectral index (BIS) monitored facilitation of general anesthesia (GA), including, anesthesia induction and maintenance of GA depth state, emergence characteristics, and postoperative recovery parameters, is now extensively available. However, majority of the data supporting the use of BIS have emanated from western Caucasian patient population. Though research on BIS monitoring have also emerged from Asian subcontinent, the data generated, at the best, is too scattered, random, and non-homogenous to reflect onto how BIS guidance fares in Asians on a population basis. We aim to undertake a multi-centric prospective cohort trial in Asian patient population to analyze as to whether BIS guidance toes the profiling and the evidence in Caucasians.
